If a contributor has papers, and wants to contribute code to Emacs, and
the code is helpful to the Emacs project (i.e. it has to make sense in
the Emacs code context), then whether or not the code has also been
contributed to XEmacs is irrelevant.  There is no reason to treat it any
more or less favorably than any other contribution.
