It is good that you read the Emacs Devel mailing list as to understand how RMS contributes these days. How I see it is that RMS has created quite well organized system where contributors are welcome as it is free software and where the project develops itself by good will and contributions of so many helpful people. So far until now it is well run organization that more or less police itself, it is self-working, self-functioning organization developing Emacs more and more. Every planner of any organization or a project should be proud to achieve the state where planner is free and organization continues as envisioned. RMS's personal commits compared to the above don't matter much. What matters is that Emacs lives, is being developed and that there are many authors and contributors. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
