In the interest of expanding this beyond just the -i=mi stuff, I've created a metabug for making mach and emacs play nicer together:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1263253 If you've got any wants for things emacs could do but doesn't that would make life developing gecko/ff/sm/etc easier, that'll give us a place to centralize requests and see what's done. For instance, I'd love to have a little elisp library for just throwing mach commands together that I could easily bind, so I could do things like kick off mochitest based on the file I'm currently in or whatever.
