GNU ELPA is auto-built from that branch. So the main thing you need to know is that this `apl-mode' would then be distributed via GNU ELPA and that new packages would be released whenever you bump the "Version:" header. There's also the fact that these file should follow some coding conventions (mostly, the apl-mode.el file in there should have the usual ";;; apl-mode.el --- " first line, and it needs to have a "Version:" header).
