Wiegley has probably done more to make Emacs exciting again than anyone since the XEmacs fork. (Which, hey, speaking of RMS driving off contributors...)

  Sure, but taking part of a political games, doesn't make him a favor.

    What exactly is your position? Is John Wiegly an important contributor to the GNU project or not?
    • uncletaco 7y ago
      He is, in my opinion, considering he’s the primary maintainer of what has been called GNU’s flagship application, emacs.

  Really? He did? Anyway, he hasn't done much in Emacs development for years now, I think. As a maintainer, his actual tenure was very brief. Eli Zaretskii is the acting maintainer now.
