Hi Richard, Perhaps it is best if I'm relieved from being the Mac maintainer. I program for the love of programming and not for any other reasons. These responsibilities that seem to be expected of a maintainer do not suit me. For the record I was never asked and I have never promised to be a maintainer. One day my name shows up in the MAINTAINER file and that was it! Please consider this my resignation as Mac maintainer of Emacs as of today. Andrew.
