[Moving to help-gnu-emacs, since gnu-emacs-sources isn't meant for discussion.]
I agree, but technically the package description is on the web site,
but I suppose it could be added.
FWIW, it looks like these e-mails to gnu-emacs-sources originate from
this script:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/tree/admin/update-archive.sh

I do not want to browse the Internet for such basic information.
Since I spend 99.9% of my time in a GNU Emacs buffer on a non X
environment (linux tty), I tend to limit browsing the Internet at all
;)

If you by "my time" mean "my computer time",
then we are techo-twins!

Yes, that would be much better.

No doubt.

Indeed, tho part of it is done in Elisp from
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/tree/admin/archive-contents.el
Patches welcome,
Stefan

I would love, if gnu.emacs.sources would be a more useful information
source (adding a description of the announced packages would no doubt
make ich more valuable) but I read it anyway, since I'm already on
netnews, because of gnu.emacs.help.

The ELPA maintaners could take a hint from the CTAN mailing list.

Normally I'm all for the minority report but my
intuition tells me very, very few people use
GES so any improvements there would be a shot
in the dark, unless it would be a quick fix
which after that would be all automated and
just propagate the data to the newsgroup.
