It hasn't: Carsten has worked on it basically without version control
or at least version logs at home. He considered the history in the
Emacs ChangeLog to be much more relevant than what he got himself.

No, that risk does not exist. We don't give CVS access to AUCTeX
developers not having signed papers. The assignment problems of
AUCTeX only concern old code, and not all of it (for example,
preview-latex, a subsystem of AUCTeX, is completely covered).

No. It is only old contributors, and we covered all of the principal
ones. The rest may be a lot of work, but the actual amounts of code
concerned are not too extensive as far as I can see.
