That would be nice.

On the topic of the readme/manual, wouldn't it be better to have a
separate README file?  Then again, the manual is pretty short, and I
don't know if it is worth having it in the first place... 

Also, your README includes this line

  :vc (:fetcher github :repo "alphapapa/listen.el")

which is malformed.  What you want is 

  :vc (:url "https://github.com/alphapapa/listen.el")

or after the package has been added to ELPA, then just

  :vc t

I like the name ;)
