It would be nice if gas-mode.el
(http://www.hczim.de/software/gas-mode.html) would be added to emacs.
It is a good mode for editing assembly.
The copyright assignment is on file.

I have emailed the author to check that he is OK with the inclusion.  If
so, I will upload it to elpa.gnu.org.

IMO it would be better to give it a spin for a bit in the core emacs,
and if no problems are found, just replace asm-mode.el (it has less
features, and hasn't seen much develpment in quite a while)

That was 10 years ago, and there were no further updates.

Now, this link is dead:
http://www.hczim.de/software/gas-mode.html

So is there anything more to do here or should this be closed?

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

It looks like the code is available elsewhere: 
https://github.com/nelhage/elisp/blob/master/local/gas-mode.el

It doesn't look like that's been updated for a decade, either, so it
pretty much looks like it's a dead project.  I can't recall anybody else
asking for the mode to be included in ELPA, either, so I don't think
we're going to see any further progress in this bug report, and I'm
closing it.
