I think the first thing would be to start the copyright assignment process so that your contributions can be incorporated into Emacs. For that please fill the form below and send it to the FSF as instructed so they can send you the relevant paperwork to sign. I'm not very familiar with CEDET, but having converted it recently to use lexical-binding, I'm a bit less lost in it, let's say. So I'd be happy to play the middle man between Emacs's `master` and you until we feel comfortable giving you direct write access. Adding an Semantic backend to Xref would indeed be a great first step. Other things that come to mind in terms of maintenance: - IIRC there were changes in the upstream CEDET code which still haven't been merged into Emacs's `master`. - Anand Tamariya has a branch of CEDET (sadly based on Emacs as of a year ago) at https://gitlab.com/atamariya/emacs which includes various interesting additions (such as an SQL grammar). I recently started to try and work with him to start merging some of those changes into Emacs's `master`. These branches are evidence of the need to try and merge things into Emacs's `master` promptly and regularly, otherwise it becomes hard to get them merged back and the risk of them getting lost in the long term is high. Stefan Please email the following information to assign@gnu.org, and we will send you the assignment form for your past and future changes. Please use your full legal name (in ASCII characters) as the subject line of the message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUEST: SEND FORM FOR PAST AND FUTURE CHANGES [What is the name of the program or package you're contributing to?] Emacs [Did you copy any files or text written by someone else in these changes?
