What I have in mind is that we would determine, before putting a package into NonGNU ELPA, where we stand vis-a-vis the maintainers. We would set up the handling of the package according to that. Thus, on encountering a problem that suggests changing the package, we would know in advance how to handle the issue. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
