It is aimed at users who decide to write some Emacs Lisp code,
so I think it does fit in the Emacs Lisp References Manual.
But it would also fit in the Emacs Manual, where it describes
some basic kinds of Lisp that are useful in init files.

However, only a very brief description of use-package would accord
with the Emacs Manual's section on this.  A larger amount could accord
with the context of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
