The following Elpa packages do not provide a feature: `ada-ref-man',
`transcribe', and `uni-confusables'. I believe all packages should
contain a library which provides the appropriate feature.
`transcribe' additionally violates many other conventions. The various
section headers lack the space after the semicolons. Not a single
symbol is properly prefixed or documented. It should probably be
removed.
`load-relative' also doesn't provide its feature using `provide', but
that is intentional - it uses the alternative `provide-me' form, which
it itself defines. I cannot really see what's so great about being
able to write `(provide-me)' instead of `(provide 'the-feature)', but
some people obviously thought it that was a good idea. Anyway, should
`load-relative' itself really use `provide-me'?

I believe Stefan fixed the lack of a provide. And the author has been
notified of other issues as well.

I can't see the benefit but I also can't see the harm. Did it affect you
negatively in any way?

No, I just cannot mirror it on the Emacsmirror, but that does not really
matter because I also could not mirror any other package which uses
`provide-me'. I extract metadata for all mirrored packages, including
the provided features, and the respective code does not support
`provide-me'. I don't intend to support that form until at least halve
a dozen packages use it.

Well, I couldn't find a package Gelpa or Melpa that uses it. So I
think it's not really a big deal either way. =P

Yeah, I'll deal with it when the need arises.

Closing the bug then.
