With the copyright situation handled, is there any plan to merge
orderless or parts of orderless upstream?  I think it would be
appreciated if the flex or substring completion style could handle
spaces in the same way orderless does.

I guess there does exist the idea of bundling GNU ELPA packages with
releases of Emacs, at least?

Hopefully Emacs-29 will be bundled with several GNU ELPA packages.
Of course, we could also include orderless directly in emacs.git's
`lisp` directory, but unless the author wants to use that as the
official upstream, I think it's just too much hassle to keep everything
in sync.

Oh, I must have missed that this was planned.  But my point here was not
to add orderless directly, but to extract the relevant code and add it
to the existing completion styles as optional features.

Well, it's been "planned" for quite a while.
Whether it will finally be done for Emacs-29 is anyone's guess.

Ah, then I don't have an opinion because it all depends on which parts
and how they're added.  I consider the effort of installing a GNU ELPA
packages to be very low, so adding parts of orderless to the core need
to be balanced against the downside of duplication and the potential
increase in maintenance burden.
