Maybe he is > willing to move info+ to GNU ELPA for now and after the feature freeze > we could consider moving it or parts of it to Info mode. > http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/info+.el I have offered to GNU Emacs any or all of the info+.el code in the past - more than once. I offered the `...' and "..." highlighting as a patch a decade ago. I detailed tests on the existing manuals (Emacs and Elisp), showing which tiny minority of nodes were problematic for such highlighting because of unmatching " etc. The offer for GNU Emacs still stands, of course. But so far the response has been, "Sorry, not interested". Wrt GNU ELPA, it is not clear to me how to get code accepted and submitted there. I will not be using BZR or GIT etc. (This code, like almost all of my code, is available at MELPA, however.) I could also submit a patch again for just the `...' etc. highlighting, as an email attachment. But again, so far the answer from Emacs Dev has been no.
