It is quite clear to me from what you wrote above that your mental model and vision of maintainership of a project like Emacs are very different from the reality, starting from what does it mean to be a maintainer of such a project and what is its job description. Given that, your criticism is mostly off-mark. --- via emacs-tangents mailing list (https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-tangents)
