Obviously, I would love to have it in Emacs, especially since it's tiny
and I strongly believe it could benefit everyone by turning it on by
default, but I could settle for a package if no one wants it in
Emacs. ;)

However, I could not figure out how would I go about preparing a package
to go there.  Emacswiki points to a overly-long thread with some
pointers about policy, but no steps to get a package there.
