More generally:

* Who maintains erlang.el?
* Is 2.5.2 the latest version?
* How can we submit patches?
* How far back does compatibility need to extend?

I have a fix against 2.5.2 for "erlang-get-function-arrow" such that it
won't match arrows in strings and comments.  Erlang's major mode should
also run "after-change-major-mode-hook", but it doesn't.
