Another downside to adding one’s package to ELPA is the inconvenience. On
GitHub one can freely commit however he wants, receive PR and issues; but if
it’s in ELPA, you need to take care of commit message formats, submit a patch
and wait for someone to review & commit the patch. Also, admittedly, while the
email based workflow works, and works fine, admittedly it is not as convenient
as github’s PR. It would be interesting to see a Emacs+email-based PR
system/interface. E.g., save comments and stuff into a “PR file” and pass that
back and forth through email, and view the PR file with an elaborate interface
in Emacs. Essentially an interactive improved patch.
