GNU Recutils is a set of tools and libraries to access human-editable, plain text databases called recfiles. GNU Recutils is being used by other GNU projects, for instance GNU Guix uses recutils to display search results. The major mode, rec-mode[1], is currently distributed as a part of the main recutils tarball. It makes sense also to offer this package via ELPA as well. The source code for this package is available on Savannah[2]. The major mode would most likely be maintained as either a subtree or external, a development version will anyway be hosted in the recutils.git repository. Some minor things that need to be addressed before the package can be submitted formally, but these are fairly trivial to address: * Use of `cl' rather than `cl-lib' * Adding required package.el headers for the major mode Then it comes down to copyright assignment: we need to check if committers to rec-mode.el have given copyright assignment to FSF for GNU Emacs. This is true for authors Jose E. Marchesi (maintainer of GNU Recutils), Daiki Ueno, and yours truly. Author Julio C. M. Ramirez does not have Emacs copyright assignment. The question remains, is the change in his commit[3] small enough to be considered trivial? I would say so. What does everyone think?
