@fabionatali earlier this year I contacted Bernard Greenberg, who was the central force behind the development of Multics Emacs, and I learned a lot of striking things

@fabionatali might want to check https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/emacs-history if you actually want to try, I bet anything before the early nineties will be harder to build on a modern unix.
The patch set for emacs 18 in https://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/emacs/ probably has hints needed to port anything much older, 18.59 is from 1992, so already more than a decade after Stallman's report you linked, and somehow more than 30 years old now. It's also the oldest version in https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/emacs/
@fabionatali You can get an account on a TOPS20 (and other) systems @ https://sdf.org/
A while back, I fired up TECO emacs for the first time in 3 or 4 decades. Oh my. I could edit with all the "standard" emacs control sequences, but today's GNU emacs is a different animal.
