    No, that risk does not exist.  We don't give CVS access to AUCTeX
    developers not having signed papers.  The assignment problems of
    AUCTeX only concern old code, and not all of it (for example,
    preview-latex, a subsystem of AUCTeX, is completely covered).

Ok, I am satisfied on this score.

    It hasn't: Carsten has worked on it basically without version control
    or at least version logs at home.  He considered the history in the
    Emacs ChangeLog to be much more relevant than what he got himself.

In that case, I think this will be, to a certain extent, a step back.
But we can live with it.

So we can drop this topic.
