With the goal of getting it into GNU ELPA? I'm not sure. I think there are
nine people in the git commit logs, so it's probably doable, but a large
part of its functionality depends on mpv, which is in NonGNU ELPA. Is it
okay for ELPA packages to depend on NonGNU ELPA? The ELPA readme doesn't
have the same kind of section on dependency restriction that NonGNU ELPA's
readme does, and a quick search of emacs-devel for gnu elpa depend nongnu
didn't seem to turn up an answer.

Also, the original author has mentioned not wanting to scare off
contributors with the need for papers (
https://github.com/sachac/subed/issues/29 ), so I kinda want to stick with
their wishes especially while I'm getting the hang of things.

It's probably going to be just fine in NonGNU ELPA, right? It's pretty
niche, but having it in NonGNU ELPA already helps a great deal in making it
more accessible to less-technical users.

If it's easier for more people to work with captions and subtitles, maybe
we'll have more accessible Emacs videos, and maybe even more non-technical
users coming in to subtitle stuff. Let's see!
