Nice!

Could also just be a wrap around.

You can use the daemon with GUI frames or with text frames (or both), so
the 3 choices aren't mutually exclusive.

ELisp is strangely missing here.

I think "taking" is the better verb here instead of "doing", tho
hopefully some native anglophone can confirm.

`use-package` looks out of place, since I don't think it offers any
facilities to download/install/update/uninstall packages.

NonGNU ELPA?

The default theme is actually 2 themes (a dark one and a light one), so
it would make more sense to split it into two (or otherwise to merge
modus-operandi and modus-vivendi as well as solarized and solarized-dark).

[ BTW, last I checked it's spelled "MELPA" and not "Melpa". Don't know
if the MELPA guys care about the difference, tho. ]
Not sure what the question means, really: you can't contribute via
MELPA, and most packages are on MELPA, so if you contributed to an ELisp
package, that contribution probably found its way to MELPA even if you
never heard of it.
To a large extent the same holds for GNU ELPA, so maybe the distinction
between "contributed to MELPA packages" vs "contributed to GNU ELPA
packages" just doesn't make much sense.
Without knowing what you're hoping to do with the result of that
question it'shard to know what to do with it, but maybe you're rather
interested to distinguish contributions via `M-x report-emacs-bug` or
emacs-devel from contributions via things like merge requests on
some forge?

I think FSF membership does contribute (to a very small extent), so
maybe you want to clarify whether you'd count this as a valid
contribution or whether you're thinking of more
significant/targeted contributions?
> "Asosociate's Degree" => "Asosociates",
I don't know that one. I'm tempted to say it's a typo for "Associates"?
