Yes, it would be a nice addition to GNU ELPA.

There's a fair bit of that discussion written in a language I sadly
can't read.  What's still missing?

This is quite outside of my area of expertise, so I don't really
understand what this is about, but if the issue is to find a pinyin
table, then Emacs already comes with one, so we could both
arrange for Emacs to make it available in a more convenient form
(currently it's only available in the form of an input method, which may
be somewhat inconvenient to work with), and we could create a GNU ELPA
package containing it (or just add it to pyim) for use with older Emacsen.
