Akira, may I know if you managed to clear the FSF paperwork?
I've just checked and Akira's is a registered FSF contributor
since
last may.
Unfortunately I was informed that I am only allowed to make
"small" contributions. I wasn't given any explicit metric of what
qualifies as a "small" contribution, but was informed that patches
such as this one are okay for me to contribute.
This is due to my university being unwilling to sign the FSF
copyright disclaimer without involvement from their legal team
(although they did sign a standard letter they have saying the
would never claim copyright over emacs, but that disclaimer does
not name me personally). I have been informed that this document
my university has provided is queued with the FSF legal team for
eventual review.
It's been five years since I initially wrote this patch and two
years since I started my assignment processes so I haven't really
had the time or motivation to get this patch into a merge-able
state. I still use this code quite regularly myself so I'll
probably get around to working on it again and some point in the
future.
