Hi Stefan,

I'm not sure what are the next steps for this?

I already have signed copyright assignment for GNU Emacs contributions
in the past.  The package has another contributor, Pierre Téchoueyres,
I'm not sure if he has signed the copyright assignment papers or not
(I just sent him an email asking this).

I don't have commit privileges for either the ELPA or the GNU Emacs
sources, so I cannot add the package myself.

I think this should be a separate package, at least initially.  Based
on feedback from Michael who maintains sql.el, there might be people
who prefer the way sql-mode works now, as it has been like this for a
long time.

Best Regards,
Alex.
