Hello all, I just realized that I made a mistake, and my mistake has caused people to strongly condemn RMS for something that he did not actually do.
RMS has not yet appointed me as a co-maintainer. To my knowledge, the only thing he has done so far is to *ask* me if I wanted to be appointed co-maintainer. I answered "yes", but I've not yet received any further messages from him on this topic. I also note that I'm not listed as a maintainer in the official list of maintainers. I misinterpreted RMS's question as an offer, and that was my mistake. The fault is mine, and mine alone. RMS should not be blamed for it.
