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&gt;. 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&gt;. 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&gt; * Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org&gt; * Olivier Galibert <galibert(a)pobox.com&gt; * P. E. Jareth Hein <jareth(a)camelot-soft.com&gt; * Kyle Jones <kyle_jones(a)wonderworks.com&gt; * Kirill M. Katsnelson <kkm(a)kis.ru&gt; * Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; * Andy Piper <andyp(a)parallax.co.uk&gt; * Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor] <sperber(a)informatik.uni-tuebingen.de&gt; -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Speak softly and carry a +6 two-handed sword.
