We'd want at least one more release from maint, I think, so that'd be
9.0.5.

Rasmus, I've pushed a branch (emacs-sync) to the Org repo that applies
several patches on top of maint.  These make a few changes to org.texi
and orgcard.tex that I think are appropriate for the sync.  Feel free to
ignore the branch if it's not helpful.

Thanks.
