Packages + elpa.gnu.org

[Jambunathan K <kjambunathan@gmail.com>]

There is some interest in getting Orgmode (stable release + daily build
) in to http://elpa.gnu.org/packages.

In this context:

1. Who acts as a janitor for the elpa repository.

2. How does one upload packages - a mail drop to the maintainer, remote
   update from within emacs - scp, ftp etc etc . (Is package-x.el's
   package-upload-buffer and related configuration documented
   somewhere.)

3. Does the package manager expect that builtin packages be versioned in
   a special way. For example, can the stable release be called 7.0.1
   while a daily snapshot be called 20101008?

4. Any general guidelines on what packages would be accepted there and
   how often an update can happen. Are daily snapshots allowed.
