Subject: Change in patches approval process
In order to achieve greater efficiency and spread the maintainership
load, the XEmacs development team has decided to formalize the
process of approving patches.
If you have a patch that you would like applied to the XEmacs
distribution, you should mail it to <xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org>. The
patches review board will look at your patch and approve or reject it
(informing you of either decision). A rejection will always be
accompanied by the rationale written by the board member who vetoed
the patch. Rejected patches may be modified and resubmitted for
re-evaluation.
People interested in tracking the patches can subscribe to the patches
list by mailing to <xemacs-patches-request(a)xemacs.org>. This list is
moderated, and serves *only* for sending patches. Discussion on this
list will not be allowed -- that is what xemacs-beta is for.
The patches review board are, in alphabetical order:
* Steve Baur <steve(a)xemacs.org>
* Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org>
* Olivier Galibert <galibert(a)pobox.com>
* P. E. Jareth Hein <jareth(a)camelot-soft.com>
* Kyle Jones <kyle_jones(a)wonderworks.com>
* Kirill M. Katsnelson <kkm(a)kis.ru>
* Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr>
* Andy Piper <andyp(a)parallax.co.uk>
* Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>
