I'd like to self-nominate for that role, Stefan.

John would be an excellent = maintainer (or co/head maintainer), in my opinion.

I'd like to self-nominate for that role, Stefan. I've been c= ontributing to
Emacs since 1994, and have loved it all the while. Emacs Lisp remains a ver= y
enjoyable language to write certain types of code in.

Some things I'd like to see happen to Emacs are more efficiency, closin= g bugs,
and wider adoption of some of our newest features, like lexical scoping. Th= at
said, I'm also excited by new prospects, and wonder what can be done in= the
area of concurrency (in some form), a new language under the hood (Guile?),=
etc.

Emacs is my favorite application, by far, and the one I spend the most time=
in, both professionally and personally. It's my programming environment= ,
E-mail reader, IRC client, task manager, note taker, and occasional shell. = I'm
hoping it will still be the best choice for these things after twenty _more= _
years of use, and perhaps as head maintainer I could help keep things movin= g
in that direction.
