bug#11535: 24.0.96; Offered: coffee-mode.el

[Reuben Thomas]

Would the Emacs maintainers like a mode for CoffeeScript? (CoffeeScript
is a popular sugared JavaScript: see coffeescript.org.) coffee-mode.el
is at:

https://github.com/defunkt/coffee-mode

It has a single significant author, Chris Wanstrath, who is happy to
sign an FSF copyright assignment. (As you can see from the commit
history, there have been commits from other people, but by my counting,
none (except me, and I've already signed an Emacs copyright assignment)
has contributed more than 15 lines at a time, thus falling below the
limit for a copyright assignment being needed.

I've put some effort into tidying coffee-mode up for inclusion in Emacs,
mainly by removing functionality duplicated elsewhere, and adding
support for autoloading and customization. I'd be happy to address
remaining concerns about code style, and details of Emacs integration.
I'm happy in general to act as sponsor for this package, e.g. getting
Chris to sign the copyright assignment etc. (as a GNU maintainer, I'm
reasonably familiar with the requirements).
