Huh?  And why isn't it in Emacs's repository?  If the maintainers don't
push changes back to us (or better yet, use Emacs's repository as the
upstream), then we're better off not having the package in Emacs at all.

Could one of you maintainers merge Emacs's and docutils's versions and
try to avoid such diversion in the future, please?
If you need write access to the repository, just ask for it (which is
done by registering on Savannah and requesting membership in the
"emacs" group).
