I do have access to fencepost and to the copyright file (sorry for being
lazy!). Just checked, and i'm on file for "GUILE" and for
"EMACS EMMS"... i am pretty sure that means EMACS /and/ EMMS, so i think
we're fine :)

We release less frequently than Emacs, so i am guessing users (all three
of them!) will be fine either way. On practical terms, GNU ELPA would
be my less preferred option, since it'd add yet another repo/project to
maintain.

Yes, that's no problem. I am not the original author of the mode, so
back in the day I didn't pay attention, but my elisp skills have
improved enough in the intervening 20 years and i'm happy to take care
of it now :)
