Hi Uday,

this is about the XEmacs VM package. Most of XEmacs' elisp code isn't
bundled with XEmacs proper, but comes as separate packages, see
<http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/packages.html>.

There is also a maintainers' list at
<http://alioth.debian.org/scm/viewvc.php/XEmacs/packages/MAINTAINERS?view=markup&root=xemacs>
that still lists Robert for BBDB and VM.

I fear that neither of us will be able to take that job. It isn't
necessary that the maintainer of the XEmacs package is involved with
VM's development, but he should at least actively use XEmacs.
