On GitHub one can freely commit however he wants, receive PR and iss= ues; but if it=E2=80=99s in ELPA, you need to take care of commit message f= ormats, submit a patch and wait for someone to review & commit the patch. I thought that the advantage of ELPA was that the author could develop the = package independently of the strict emacs commit rules and he only had to p= ay attention to the copyright assignment.
