It would be very useful if package.el could be extended in this way. I also think we should have the capability to just point it at a git repository and install it as a package, just as straight.el does. That way, you wouldn't need support from an upstream that needs to add some headers. > Building on or in parallel to this, a mechanism to simplify the sending > of patches to the author or friends would also be a good thing to have. Yup.
