Look at the file etc/SERVICE in the emacs distribution - there are
lots of other consultant who will work on GNU software besides Cygnus.
I'm not sure, but I think Cygnus is more oriented towards bigger
projects like support contracts, ports to new machines etc.

As the emacs distribution is currently a bit old, I think there's a
newer version of the SERVICE file available on prep.ai.mit.edu,
directory /u2/emacs/etc.
