Re: [ELPA] New package: delight.el

[Phil Sainty <psainty@orcon.net.nz>]

No comments on this to date, so I'd quite like to see this committed
to the GNU ELPA repo.

I have a savannah account, but do not have permission to push to the
emacs/elpa repository. I'll happily take care of it if I'm assigned
permissions (which would assist with future updates); otherwise if
someone else would like to do so, that would be appreciated.

thanks,
-Phil
