Hello Akib, just chiming in with some opinions as a user.

I don't think it would be a problem for submission, Philip was just
wondering why the name was different, mostly because, as you noted
yourself, it can be misleading, leading users to think it would be a
package to make Corfu use popup.el.

Now I must wonder -- and keep in mind that it is not a problem per-se at
all -- why you didn't rename it to corfu-popon, keeping it aligned with
the other packages... 

Overall, great contributions to this package ecosystem, and I hope to
see it in ELPA in the near future!
