I think I'm about ready to switch ELPA to use Git.  So please, refrain
to commit to the `elpa' branch until I announce the availability of the
new Git repository.

If someone can provide a better Git branch than Andreas's on repo.or.cz,
speak now or forever hold your peace.

I wasn't able to capture the entire conversation in my head by reading the
archives but I just wanted to chime in on how we (MELPA) see the README vs.
the commentary section. As far as I know, the commentary is what we use to
craft the `describe-package` information. Our impression was that for
single-file packages, the commentary is normally enough to describe the
purpose of the package and normal use-case.

For larger packages, lets say "magit" for example, the commentary should be
a short description of the package and maybe a link to more documentation,
possibly a link to the README.
I can see that in some cases this is a bit of duplicate information, but in
most cases I think the commentary is a bit lighter on details.

Hope this helps give some outsider input. I would agree that "as MELPA"
what we say or feel shouldn't impact the greater Emacs community. I
contribute this information as a user who has thought about packages a lot.
