Stallman relinquishing reins of GNU Emacs after 32 years
After more than three decades of work, the message from Richard Stallman, creator of the GNU Emacs text editor and keeper of its flame since 1976, couldn't possibly have been more matter of fact: Stefan and Yidong offered to take over, so I am willing to hand over Emacs development to them.
That's it. No fanfare from the often controversial, widely revered president of the Free Software Foundation. No word on when the transition will take place, or if it's already happened.
Stefan and Yidong are Stefan Monnier, an assistant professor at the University of Montreal, and Chong Yidong, described here as an "Emacs hacker and graduate student in theoretical condensed matter physics at MIT."
