Do we have any facilities for testing of (all) ELPA packages with a new
Emacs release?

I've just done a very quick check and some of the packages appear not to
work.

wisi, for example, won't install:

package--check-signature-content: Failed to verify signature:
file-error, "Writing to process", "Bad file descriptor", #<process epg>

While yasnippet breaks with basic functionality -- M-x yas-global-mode
gives:

yas-define-snippets-1: Wrong type argument: integerp, nil
Mark set


Do ELPA bugs get reported to the Emacs bug reporter?

Phil

In general, yes. But you might have a quicker response if you notify 
each maintainer personally (instead, or in addition to filing the bug).

Yes, I think so. ELPA is really a part of the Emacs project, unless the ELPA
package in question has its own maintenance team.

Those are two separate questions.  Packages in ELPA, like files in
Emacs that are not in ELPA, may be delegated to other maintainers, but
they are all part of Emacs.
