We've at last got an official release version (22.1) for that. I had
spent much time and effort for this version.

Of course it's up to you whether to make such a plea. But keep in
mind that developers' time and effort for multi-tty and Unicode
support on the Carbon port might be wasted if the Cocoa/GNUStep port
becomes good enough for Emacs 23. I don't think it's a good idea to
invest them in catching up with the trunk NOW.
The situation is different from that of pre-22: we have a brand-new
first stable release version running on the Mac native window system
and ordinary Mac users don't need to use the CVS version, there's an
alternative, and the next major release does not happen too soon.
