I'm packaging VM for Fedora, and I would LIKE to participate in
keeping VM up-to-date. For each version of emacs, it is showing the
lack of development. I'm not sure how much I CAN contribute, given
time and elisp competence constraints. For example, with emacs 29.3
the coloring of the summary buffer sometimes gets into some kind of
busy loop using 1 cpu full time. So far I haven't been able to figure
out what the problem is and what to do about it.

At the same time, there are circulating patches on this list. Also, of
the issues reported at launchpat.net/vm since way back do include
fixes but seem to stay ignored. If someone creates a repository
somewhere and collects all the patches, that could be a good start.
For "somewhere" there are several options, the weak part is "someone".
