** Some packages in Emacs are maintained externally
Sometimes a package that ships as part of GNU Emacs is maintained as a
separate project, with its own upstream repository, its own maintainer
group, its own development conventions, etc. The upstream project's
code is periodically merged into Emacs (exactly when and how such
merges happen depends on the package).
So when you are making a contribution -- such as fixing a bug or
proposing an enhancement -- to one of these externally maintained
packages, you sometimes need to deal with that package at its upstream
source.
In the section "Externally maintained packages" in "admin/MAINTAINERS"
we maintain a list of such packages.
