What is our policy with making XEmacs specific changes to packages?  For 
example, if we added defcustom's to efs (and no efs maintainer was on
the list) is there a mechanism in place to get that information back to
the maintainer?  If said maintainer has disappeared off the face of the
earth, how should we change the version number?  Clearly, we should
change the version number, but how?  And is a change in version number
being enforced?

Especially things such as supporting custom.el seem like obvious changes
to get propagated back to maintainers, as that it's available in GNU
Emacs and XEmacs (at least in the future and tiny backward-compat
modules exist).
