The place for the "ELPA bundling" project

The place for the "ELPA bundling" project

[Dmitry Gutov]

I've tried to find the bug number, or a specific emacs-devel discussion, 
that would contain the existing knowledge and some hint of the current 
state. And failed.

Could somebody give me the link I could post in public? Both to refer to 
that potential feature, and to invite people to help out.

Eli send me this <83zg27emh8.fsf@gnu.org>, or if you cannot resolve it,
here is the copied text:

That's not the only issue we need to resolve.  See

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-12/msg00917.html
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-01/msg01017.html
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-01/msg01373.html

for the previous discussions, where the issues were raised and
discussed.

Thanks, Philip. Even if I could resolve it (I can't), it wouldn't be 
helpful for sending the reference to somebody else -- which was my 
original goal.

So thank you for the copy as well.
