Jostein,

Thanks for the questions.

> But I can't seem to find this package ready for use in core Emacs, ELPA
nor MELPA.

The only place I've published the source so far is on github. It's still in
development and still has bugs; publishing it on ELPA or MELPA seems
premature to me.

If you want to try it, load cpio.el and in a cpio [newc or crc] archive run
M-x cpio-mode. That should present a dired-like interface to work with.

> Apart from the source which is hosted by Github, how and where is this
package distributed?

And, no, it's not packaged properly for use in core emacs yet, for the same
reasons. I'll do that when I think it's stable.

> Was this email just a "FYI here's my package" notification to other Emacs
users/developers? Or was this post a request for inclusion in Emacs or ELPA?

I want to submit this as a part of core emacs and was told to publish it on
this mailing list but with no details. If I'm doing something wrong, please
let me know.
