We are all trying to work together here, so I don't think we need "recourse" other than to remind people gently that "We should discuss this on emacs-devel." Any of us can start that discussion. So if you see that a change is being considered that calls for discussion on emacs-devel, just forward one of the messages about it to emacs-devel. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
