[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs on Catalina may be a problem

[David Reitter]

I’m not sure what they mean by notarization, but I have an Apple developer account (that I paid for at some point), which is how I got my signing credentials.   It should be easy enough to get a new certificate from them, and I would strongly recommend you do that.

The automatic builds available from the Aquamacs website are not signed. Just the releases.
