Same for me. I'm a very regular user but far from being familiar with emacs internal. Also, my time devoted to non-mathematical stuff in Sage is limited and quite occupied by tuning Sphinx. So I can help a little but I don't want to commit any promises. > FWIW, I've been meaning to make an spkg with my changes (adding AUCTeX > support for SageTeX).

I'm not sure what you mean by "include customization of the preamble" but the patch I submitted was exactly for that purpose. So the LaTeX preamble should now be fully customizable in emacs customization menus. What I would like to have is to include Sage's "latex.extra_preamble()" to emacs preamble. Unfortunately I don't know how to get this from emacs. > I've also been considering adding it to one of the package.el repositories > (probably MELPA).

So the current situation is fine with me.
