Yes, I can do that. I will send it privately when I have prepared it.

Thank you.

I have no strong opinion either way. Perhaps centralizing it in a
single file is easier to maintain.

Yes, see for example: https://elpa.gnu.org/nongnu/caml.html
> Does each package have a subdirectory?
AFAIU, the answer is no. They instead each have their own git branch.

They are either .el or .tar files available using the standard M-x
package-list in Emacs, or the individual package page with a web
browser.

OK, that sounds reasonable.
