I came across this impressive project while looking at the state of the art with small Emacsen. I'm the maintainer of Zile, and I'd like to note that its stats have changed in the last few years, as I rewrote it in Vala.
It is now 5.8kLoC (using its make loc target; that's about half of what you cite, which itself is rather more than the 8.0kLoC of the last C version), for a modest increase in binary size (289,008 bytes as built by Ubuntu for amd64).
