Under what conditions will an ELPA package land up in core Emacs distribution? 2. If a user raises a bug or a feature request against a package, how and where should she report them. 3. Allowing for the possibility that GNU ELPA packages or even popular Emacs packages might get orphaned either by the author or the new owner (in case of ownership transitions), will the Emacs project take care of continued sustenance of the package. Please note that 3 is not a hypothetical question. ps: In another few days time, I will make yet another proposal to have my OpenDocument exporter included in ELPA. Jambunathan K. --
