If the outside host is someone who has write access to ELPA does it make any difference? It's just a different way of trusting people. Ultimately, pull requests of this form would result in emails going to the ELPA-diffs mailing list, so we'd be able to check there. And, if we can get the people who have assigned copyright as a CSV along with their aliases, you could check the commit messages on the way through for authorship. Phil
