I have approached emacs-devel and volunteered to move the file to GNU
ELPA (and maintain the file from there).

Note: I would like to ensure that the file moves out of it's current
obscure place in contrib/lisp of Orgmode to a more visible place like
GNU ELPA before I expend any efforts on improving it.

Why is ELPA less obscure than org-contrib?  It would seem that every org
mode installation (e.g. Ubuntu packages) will include the org-contrib
source files, though they aren't enabled by default.  Not including then in
org-contrib will effectively remove them from all debian based Linux
distributions, and from git based installations..

ELPA is a fine place for it, but does it require for it to not be in
contrib?

I have no objection to this.
