That does not really appear to match the realities. There are a host of
commits in ELPA coming from known Emacs developers (well, push
access...) for projects I never heard of on the developer list. And
since ELPA contributions (if I understood correctly) require an Emacs
copyright assignment anyway and that is coupled with commit access
fairly often, there really is a strong appearance of "just write to ELPA
if you think you know what you are doing".
And if I don't hear anything about the prospected file/project I posted
here, that's likely what I'll end up doing.
Still feels a bit unsual, though.
