Non-trivial contributors, yes. > Are we sure that this is currently the case at all with all those > packages developed on Github (pull requests!) ? Currently, for code to get into Gelpa it needs to be manually commited by someone with push access. Gelpa (and Emacs) thus work on the assumption that those with push access will only push code that they have authored, or code that they were told was authored by someone with an assignment on file. > And should there not be something said about that in elpa/README? Yes.
