Similarly, the > restrictions on emacs version support in org core do not apply. AFAIK: this is correct. But we can't move a package from contrib to core if significant parts are written by authors without assigned copyright. As I said, I don=E2=80=99t know what a taskjuggler is, so I don=E2=80=99t k= now how relevant that consideration is here. > (I do like this system since it allows org-related packages to be > effectively community-maintained, and different people take on their > maintenance at different times, as we see here. Indeed. But it has a risk if contrib is thought of as a staging area. Again, I guess this should be done on a case-by-case basis. > I=E2=80=99d be happy if of the org-related packages on github were migrat= ed to > contrib, so that they don=E2=80=99t bitrot when their original authors mo= ve on. I agree with you, but others want to move stuff out of contrib. Rasmus --=20 m-mm-mmm-mmmm bacon!
