Inclusion in GNU ELPA has 2 aspects: - legal: we follow the same copyright policy as for Emacs, so as to make it easy to move code between two. So we'd need all non-trivial contributors to sign some paperwork. IIUC in this case we just need your paperwork. - technical (it seems you know that already, but just in case): the GNU ELPA archive is built from the `elpa.git' repository which hosts all the source code of all the packages, and where we may occasionally install patches. We generally encourage maintainers to use this repository as the main development repository, so as to avoid the need to keep 2 repositories in sync. If the maintainer elects to keep the main development elsewhere, he's expected to keep the elpa.git version uptodate. So if you agree, then please fill the form below and email it to the FSF as instructed so they can send you the appropriate paperwork to sign. Thank for your contributions to Emacs, Stefan Please email the following information to assign@gnu.org, and we will send you the assignment form for your past and future changes. Please use your full legal name (in ASCII characters) as the subject line of the message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUEST: SEND FORM FOR PAST AND FUTURE CHANGES [What is the name of the program or package you're contributing to?] Emacs [Did you copy any files or text written by someone else in these changes?
