Hello, all

I'm nervous to send this first message to this emacs-devel.
I want to ask you to add leaf [1] to GNU Elpa.

leaf allows users to configure packages declaratively, without
being confused by the idioms for package configuration.
Yes. This was definitely inspired by jweigley's use-package [2].  But
use-package fails to design DSL and handlers, and leaf is more
flexible and more uniformly configured.  If you're interested in
comparing it to use-package, see here [3]. jweigley had also joined
the discussion.

The big point is that my leaf originally asked contributors to
sign on to become GNU sources, while use-package can't register
with GNU ELPA due to copyright issues. [4]  I don't see any technical
difficulties for my leaf to be registered with GNU Elpa.  My
concern is that it doesn't have info-ized documentation like
other Emacs standard attachment packages.  If you need an
info-ized document to register, please let me know.  Also, if you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
