As a general guideline for documentation, I'm thinking that anything a package author puts in their own repository would get documented in the Emacs Lisp manual, whereas anything that goes in the (Non)GNU ELPA repository (e.g. in the elpa-packages file) goes in the ELPA README. That makes intuitive sense to me as a package author at least: then the Emacs Lisp manual would have everything I need to *prepare* my package for eventual inclusion in ELPA.
