Then why does its entry in externals-list says
("chess" :external "https://github.com/jwiegley/emacs-chess.git")
? What does that URL mean? The README text definitely makes a strong
impression that's the upstream:
** External branches
Some packages are maintained in external branches. These should be
appropriately listed in the `externals-list' file.
There are two different cases: subtrees and externals.
In both cases, a copy of the code is kept in the `elpa' repository and
should be sync'd with the upstream every once in a while. This copy may
include local changes, tho ideally these should be kept to a minimum.
If the upstream is in elpa, then what "upstream" and what "copy" are
alluded to here, and why does the text talk about syncing and local
changes?

I don't know what is plain correction and what isn't. What I
corrected are errors in Texinfo usage, typos, and a few cases of
unclear wording.
