XEmacs no longer has a Gentoo maintainer

With some sadness I have to announce that I am no longer maintaining
XEmacs in Gentoo.
Thank you for your long service.
I'm pressed for time and rather spend it on things that matter
directly for my business. Unfortunately XEmacs' incompatibilities
with Emacs modes that are floating around online and that I need to
use were getting in the way of that more and more.
Would you be willing to write up a report of what you need, or want :-),
that XEmacs doesn't work with?
While I realize that people here care, things are just moving too
slowly
and I don't see that improving in the future.
I disagree, but ... revisit us around Christmas. We'll see.
So I've resigned as Gentoo XEmacs maintainer a week or so ago.
How was your experience as Gentoo maintainer? I ask because I have
two friends who are ex-maintainers for reasons that have more to do
with what they consider "Gentoo politics" than with work pressure,
etc. I consider them biased (they're almost as opinionated as I am,
so I'm not surprised they would run into "politics" :-), but I
wouldn't be surprised if other people have heard similar things.
Thank you again for your service to XEmacs and to Gentoo.
Regards,
Steve
