I started on a branch to implement bundling elpa packages in the emacs
release; see feature/bundle-elpa, file admin/notes/elpa, and this email
thread on emacs-devel:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2021-01/msg01017.html

I gave up when no one responded to my requests for comments.

There is also a branch feature/core-elpa-by-copy.
