[AUCTeX-devel] Re: CVS repository synchronization for RefTeX

[Richard Stallman]

    I mean, let us just ask: are there any Emacs developers listening who
    can imagine themselves working on RefTeX?

I am not sure why that question is relevant.  We may have a shortage
of people who would want to maintain RefTeX, but that isn't a matter
of where the repository is.

Given that RefTeX has a separate repository already, I don't think
there is any harm in moving it, as such.  (I already said so.)

However, moving it into the AUCTeX repository creates a possible
specific risk.  Namely, the risk that AUCTeX contributors who have not
signed papers might put changes into RefTeX also.

    the time frame for folding AUCTeX into
    Emacs will probably be still years because of copyright paper reasons
    (we are progressing there, but not really fast).

Are there any current contributors to AUCTeX who have not yet signed
papers for Emacs (which would include RefTeX)?
