I'm definitely in favor of getting alert.el into GNU ELPA (or Emacs
core, even better) first. Would you like to push the needed actions?

If we have a dedicated bug report for this, it is also simpler to
understand the current status (completeness of copyright assignments etc
pp). I'd like to help you, but I cannot start it by myself. I'm in a
miserable health condition. It could always happen that I'm unavailable
w/o prior notice.
