AFAIR, you used a checkout of the development sources that was behind
the repository tip. But maybe I'm misremembering things, this was
almost 2 years ago.

AFAIK, you never proposed any code.

I don't know where you got the idea that no new C code is welcome, or
from whom. We are adding C code to Emacs all the time. Just look at
the Git log. I've re-read that past discussion, and didn't see any
sign of such a message in anything I wrote there. This must be some
gross misunderstanding. If something I wrote is the culprit, I
apologize.
