After considering this for some time, I'm volunteering to help. I should have enough time to keep the CVS archive for the packages uptodate. For those who don't know me, let me introduce myself briefly. I'm one of the glibc developers and XEmacs is one of my favorite programs. In mid 1997 I helped to get XEmacs running with glibc2 - and since I'm always using glibc testreleases, XEmacs still works with glibc;-). I'm currently employed by the Linux distributor SuSE and have spent some time during the last weeks to get a mule enabled XEmacs 21.1.7 on our next distribution.
