We discussed this at yesterday's technical board meeting, and decided that
this case is sufficiently different from what we've dealt with in the past
that further discussion with the MOTU council is appropriate.

Adding extra ACLs for existing Ubuntu developers to upload specific packages
in main is one thing, but in this case, the request is for someone who is
not officially an Ubuntu developer to upload.

This is a fairly specialized package, and it's hard to envision anything
going particularly wrong with emacs-snapshot (given that it's intended to be
a fast-moving snapshot of upstream), but this will set a precedent and we
will need to be prepared to handle this case.

I suggest we set up a conference call with the TB and the MC to discuss.
