      I’m sure Emacs can reproduce.

          Wait, I just realized that that exists. It’s called a quine. I trust that the Founding Fathers of Emacs were genius enough to make it a quine.

            That’s why they’re the Founding Fathers

              Credited with writing the manuscripts of the GNU GPL, in its original, unamended form

    In order to contribute a fix, you have to reproduce a bug.

    It doesn’t take special talents to reproduce—even plants can do it. On the other hand, contributing to a program like Emacs takes real skill. That is really something to be proud of.

    It helps more people, too.

    I assumed this meant reproducing the same functionality in a new editor instead of contributing to Emacs, the reality is so much better
