Richard Stallman writes to announce that he’s appointed a new Emacs maintainer. Not to worry, Eli Zaretskii is still a maintainer but Andrea Corallo will now be a co-maintainer along with Zaretskii and Stallman.
Corallo, of course, is the engineer who brought us native compilation, inarguably a tour de force.
Whatever you think of RMS, he does have a good record of appointing excellent Emacs maintainers. As I’ve written recently, heading up Emacs development takes a lot of knowledge and work and I’m sure Eli can use a bit of help.
I extend my best wishes to Corallo and am confident that he will be another in a long line of excellent maintainers. You can consider this post as my thanks to him in advance. As I’ve said repeatedly, we all owe those who step up to take on this task a huge amount of thanks.
