I think it is better to use the same keys as org-mode, since one
important motivation for this feature is precisely to align the
outline-mode keybindings with org-mode.  This aspect would be
significantly diminished by using other keys, IMHO.

My impression was that also there was consensus around (or at least no
objections to) that idea the last time we discussed it.  I would
therefore propose to just add TAB and S-TAB to the patch, but allow a
week or two before pushing to give others a chance to comment here.

But, if you really want to, of course you could also ask on emacs-devel.
Worst case, we get to have another round of bikeshedding. ;-)

That is my understanding too.

But I only saw a diff attached, not a patch with a commit message.  That
is what I tried to say, but I could've been more clear.

(CONTRIBUTE suggests using `git format-patch -1' to email a patch, which
includes the commit message.)

Looks good to me (but should refer to the above keybindings if they're
added).
