What does hacking ON Emacs lisp mean? Does it mean working on Emacs's lisp interpreter's source? Or on some project written in Emacs lisp?
For me it means writing an .el extension.

By "build" if you meant RMS stopped coding ages ago then you are wrong. He still contributes quite a lot to Emacs ( https://github.com/mirrors/emacs/commits/master ) I am pretty sure I can dig up other projects he is still coding in. but RMS hasn't stopped coding.
I meant new projects. I just wouldn't describe him as "too productive" now, not compared to the early days. Unlike that other lovable teddy bear, Linus. RMS has even written about his shift out of development IIRC, about how political work is more important to him now.
Is there a list of emacs users who are famous for using emacs?
Neal Stephenson is missing from this list: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/NealStephenson
Speaking of sf/fantasy authors, Steve Brust writes using emacs. (And on mandrake linux, according to the acknowledgements of this unpublished work: http://dreamcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/My-Own-Kind-... )
I was disappointed we didn't know what kind of macros they were.
Sadly the amount of resource to learn emacs is pretty sparse while it is not for vim. Also emacs doesn't run properly on windows (at least not on an azerty keyboard)
I run the blog mastering emacs - please let me know if there are any articles you want me to cover.

Linus frequently talks about how all he does these days is merge stuff with very little coding of his own.
