I am not against adding it -- if it meets the criteria and people like it, why not? -- but I'd like to know what feature we are adding. However, to "add something to ELPA" is not a coherent proposal, because you need to specify WHICH branch or ELPA. GNU ELPA and NonGNU ELPA have different rules -- we need to know which one we are considering. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
