But for packages we add to Emacs, and place into the Emacs Git
repository, we didn't until now request any statement from the author,
we assumed that being in the repository is a clear sign that the
package is part of Emacs.  We also assumed that being in the ELPA
repository is a clear sign of the same.  Now it sounds like we were
mistaken?
