When signing into Savannah, I see I'm still pending to join the emacs group - my copyright assignment for GNU Emacs went through a week or two ago. Are there any other things I need to do to gain developer access to the GNU Elpa repository and push my package (https://github.com/ahungry/color-theme-ahungry)? Also - I have two .el files in the repository currently (never to be used in tandem) - one is a fallback for users with emacs less than 24.x to be used with the color-theme package, the other (ahungry-theme.el) is the main theme to be used with load-theme. Is it a problem to leave both in the repository (and subtree merge under elpa/packages/ahungry-theme) or should I remove the fallback one and keep it separate entirely (I guess it would not work alone in the base GNU Elpa if a user didn't have color-theme installed like the load-theme would)?
