Perhaps could we convince James to create an alioth project and to allow comaintainers that way. I think that XEmacs is too important a package to be maintained by a single person (popularity means a lot of bug reports). Working together for the benefit of our users, that is. This is what Rob and I did with emacs21 few months ago, and it is definitely better. > If this isn't dealt with, I think xemacs21 and xemacs21-packages should > be removed from 'sarge', because they're unacceptably buggy.

XEmacs is used by a lot of people, and missing it would be bad for Debian
