I've been eyeballing patches that get sent to emacs-devel and Cc:'d to me
and signing off on them, but not doing much more than that.  We had a
maintainer volunteer a couple years ago, but haven't heard from him since.

I think it would be reasonable to modify sv.gnu.org/p/erc to point to the
Emacs package.  The only other users of that package would be users of
Emacs 21 or XEmacs.  Emacs 21 doesn't matter much anymore, and XEmacs
already has ERC in their source tree I believe, with their own patches.
