It would be great if we could decide which Stack Exchange site Emacs questions may go to. A recent Emacs site proposal was closed on the grounds that it was redundant. However since Emacs is both a programming platform (in Lisp) and an application (editor, mostly for code), there are chronic disputes over whether Emacs questions belong on Stack Overflow, Super User, Programmers.SE, or somewhere else.

For example, I'd like to post some Lisp code to help answer this question on Stack Overflow about Emacs keyboard layout, but it was moved to Programmers.SE and then closed for being off-topic. I suggest we implement this suggestion: until there is a dedicated Emacs site, all questions about Emacs (or other editor used primarily for coding) should be considered on-topic for Stack Overflow. Thank you.
