Good point, in admin/MAINTAINERS [1] it says

The (co-)maintainers of Emacs are:

        Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
        Stefan Kangas <stefankangas@gmail.com>

But now I'm confused, RMS isn't even mentioned in that file
yet we have heard several times the discussion is over, he has
already made up his mind etc.

But I admit I got the whole maintainer situation wrong,
I thought it was Alan Mackenzie, RMS, and you who were the
maintainer trio? And yes, that actually felt a little scary
with respect to the animosity to `cl-lib' and
`pcase' situation.
