May I ask what the name is supposed to mean?

This sound very interesting!
From briefly skimming through the code I see that you define a new major
that doesn't inherit from the default `prolog-mode'. Is there a reason
not to do so, or even implement sweep as a minor mode?

What happens if someone doesn't have a recent version of SWI Prolog?
Also, I am guessing this is the reason you want to add it to NonGNU ELPA
instead of GNU ELPA, right?

I see you've added Sourcehut as the "official" URL in the package
header, do you plan to use your mailing list
(https://lists.sr.ht/~eshel/dev) too? If so, I recommend adding the
mailing list as the "maintainer" email address so that people can easily
send you a "public" message.
