I would love to see org-drill available in MELPA. It's the most
important package I use from contrib. Moving it to MELPA means I'm
closer to being able to live with the version of Org that ships with
Emacs, and would not have to install org-plus-contrib.

To that end I've created a branch[1] for adding your fork to MELPA.
Based on your previous messages in this thread, I assume I have your
permission to submit a PR? Or is there a good reason to wait with this
for the moment?
