Thank you. Some comments follow.

A comment should explain why we're using a commit hash instead of a tag.

> +    (package

This is not the correct version. Actually, I couldn't find any reference
to a version at all in the file, so it should be "0", with a comment.

Nitpick: Pair programming in Emacs

Nitpick:

  Be careful!  All programmers see the same buffers and live edits, and
  any programmer can take over the editing session.

Unfortunately, I see no reference whatsoever to a license in the code
base. I don't think we can infer this is GPL3+. What makes you think so?

Considering the license issue is not solved, I’m closing this
report. Feel free to re-open it if needed.
