It just needs to work for Magit, If there are some other packages we would like to get into Emacs, we can handle them in a scalable way by finding, for each package, a different few volunteers to manage the process. The better solution to this problem is to prevent problem cases from arising any more. That is what the occasional notice aims to do. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
