Any objections? No objections, but it "needs work" before it can be included. At the very least, its main entry point should be documented in url.texi, and some minor code and documentation cleanup is in order. I also am not sure we want to keep the change log at the end of the file. > If not, in what release could it be included?

If the maintainers want to keep the package on ELPA as well, then Stefan and Philip should probably chime in and tell what is required on their part. Thanks.
