Dunno if this is relevant or helpful, but here goes:
I decided to install pymacs to enable me to use python-mode, as I'm preparing
to do more serious work with python (via PyNIO). I encountered a minor problem
installing pymacs, about which I posted the pymacs list, and got help from the
developer, François Pinard. Along the way I mentioned that I was installing
pymacs for use with python-mode, and he mentioned that he was not doing much
emacs work, so I asked

what are your plans for pymacs support?

Pymacs does not have that many bugs, so I guess I could maintain it
with a moderate amount of work. The story is that I transmitted
maintenance to someone else, years ago. Nothing happened for a long
while, which is not really a problem, as when a package is stable, I
do not see the need to make releases merely to create artificial
activity. But, then, the new maintainer vanished, and after a while,
I saw someone else who wanted to bloat Pymacs to the point of
killing the idea (in my opinion). So, I resumed maintenance, more to
salvage Pymacs than because I want control.
Handoff to the python-mode folks?
Surely no problem with me if they are interested. I would happily
leave Pymacs to people who are reasonably competent, and more
interested to users than to themselves. Moreover, Pymacs may be
forked by anyone who would feel otherwise -- I really mean it to be
free software! :-).
This might ease pymacs integration, or just be One More Thing To Do--
I dunno. But if you are interested, Pinard is easy to contact:

Hi Francoise, hi Tom,
that's really good news.
think we should make sure Pymacs is available with python-mode, ie
delivering a copy as a fallback, should it not being installed already.
Probably we should include some checks.
