Oh. I received no feedback, so I thought maybe posting it to emacs-bugs
would be a better way of eliciting some response.[1]
Why should lack of GUI bells-and-whistles be a "deal-breaker"? Not
everything in emacs has that, and while I can understand a policy to
_urge_ developers to include GUI support, rejecting incremental
improvements just holds the project back.
As for a 'NEWS' entry, I've never written one before, but based upon
what I see, I don't see much to add than:
** New function for tabulated lists:
'tabulated-list-resize-current-column'

That's likely. My use-case is that I'm preparing a modification for the
emacs-w3m web browser, for which using tabulated-list mode is one
implementation option; however it lacks these features. I would prefer
to code the functionality in a manner that can be used by others in the
emacs-verse; otherwise, they'll get written as functions specific to
emacs-w3m, and frankly that project has way too much of that type of
double-work already.
[1] Did a similar thing happen with my patches for cua-rectangle-mode? I
posted several bug fixes and maybe other stuff, and haven't heard from
anyone else. Wait a minute - the emacs project isn't a one-man show, and
I'm not expecting you to field all its traffic. I'm sure I cc'ed the
maintainers listed in the file's header.
