Of course, we would only do this when the author assigns copyright, but there's a very real possibility that a careless maintainer might add someone else's code to this page. And then this (non-copyright-assigned) code would be automatically pulled and committed to Elpa. I ask this because if we are OK with this risk then I'm perfectly willing to write such a script (eager, even). --001a1134d1da93d24205244d1ee5 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
