What's wrong with filtering on the tag [emacs]? Currently I do that, and there are really only two SE sites I bother to check for that tag: SO, SuperUser. And you can trivially set a filter to check all sites for that tag (or for any combination of tags, e.g. [emacs] [elisp] [lisp] [common-lisp]). How would adding a third, "Emacs", site improve things for anyone? Just one more site to check for Emacs Q & A. I looked at the proposal for the new site, and at the "discussion" of it, but I haven't seen any good arguments in support of it, so far.
