[Pkg-emacsen-addons] Bug#944249: gnuplot-mode does not work with emacs26

[Nicholas D Steeves]

Hi Olaf and Dima,

Dima, if it's alright with you can I please take care of this bug?
I've head I need an RC Bug NMU process for the "demonstrates skills
and knowledge of process" section of my eventual DD application.

I'm treating this as an NMU because while
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gnuplot-mode/blob/master/debian/control#L4

states that this is a Team Emacsen package
  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gnuplot-mode/blob/master/debian/control#L8

it's in Debian/collab-maint and not Team Emacsen team namespace.

If you'd like I can move the repository to our namespace, but please
let me know if this is the case!

If Dima give the go-ahead I'll investigate if this would be approved
for a stable update.  It seems like it would be, because RC bugs like
this aren't supposed to be solved using backports.
