#5 is a priority, it's just not the _top_ priority right now.  But it's pretty important.
Let's just make sure we understand what it means.  It does _not_ necessarily
mean a perfect history sync emacs.git -> by-then-old GitHub repo.

#1 means changing elpa.git.  And should be reasonably easy to do once #2
is done
 
#4 being checking/verifying copyright assignments. Joao mentioned some

Any pointers on that? Probably only one of Emacs maintainers can verify
assignments, but anything you need on the way? List of author names
and/or emails?

You're right.  Only people with access to the copyright file can check that.

A unique list of author names and emails is very welcome.  You can filter
out the authors whose only commit contains a line

Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes

In the commit message.
