I didn't check, but I don't think it happened though. In 2014 I signed the assignment for Emacs (946878). (Just curious: is there a public list containing all the assignments?

Of course feel free to apply the changes you have in mind and possibly go beyond. Best regards, -- Marco GPG: 0x49010A040A3AE6F2
