Um, I've been having a Savannah account since 2003 because AUCTeX is
also maintained on Savannah.  Whom do I have to ask for a membership to
the Emacs group?

So that means the upcoming Emacs release will break the externally
maintained version of RefTeX?

AUCTeX also uses `up-list' at a few occasions (it's even bound to a key
for AUCTeX users), so I'll have to check if the respective functions
will be broken by the changes in Emacs as well.
