Yes, we are interested to have Ada support in Org mode repository.

Here is what you need to do:

1. Check our contributor instructions at
   https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#first-patch
   In particular, pay attention to the ChangeLog entry format.
   You also need FSF copyright assignment.
   Don't worry to make mistakes - we will guide you through once you
   submit patches.

2. https://github.com/rocher/ob-ada-spark/blob/main/ob-ada-spark.el
   should go to lisp/ directory of Org repository.
   Make sure to update the file header, updating the licence and stating
   that it is now a part of Emacs.

3. You need to get rid of any external library dependencies (f.el)

4. https://github.com/rocher/ob-ada-spark/blob/main/ob-doc-Ada-SPARK.org
   should go to
   https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/index.html
   You will need to make a patch against https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/worg
   Also, make sure to follow
   https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-template.org

5. You need to add tests to testing/lisp in Org repository.
   You may use
   https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/tree/testing/lisp/test-ob-java.el
   as a reference.

6. It will be best if you continue maintaining ob-ada within Org mode
   repository. If you are willing to, we will also give you write access
   to the Org mode repository on savannah. We will provide instructions
   later, when we reach this stage.
   Note that we use Org mailing list to track bugs and discuss the
   development. You do not have to be subscribed, we can forward
   relevant email threads to your email inbox.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask us.
