FWIW, I very much doubt that many people nowadays would share Drew's
issue with using Git.  Using Git is a no-brainer nowadays.  I actually
think this is a very unique situation, and anyone else who insists on
using MELPA doesn't do that for such simple technical reasons.  I
think the legal paperwork is the main issue, and also perhaps not
everyone would like to be accountable for their code practices before
the Emacs maintainers and their peculiar requirements and
expectations.
