    I think it would be good if Emacs included "lua-mode.el":

       http://luaforge.net/projects/lua-mode/

Have you checked that it is well written and fits into Emacs well
as a major mode?  That it doesn't do anything bizarre which major
modes should not do?

If so, could you ask the author(s) of lua-mode.el to contact me?

    Lua
    itself uses the MIT license).

MIT uses many licenses, so it is best to call this the X11 license.
