FYI there was a thread on exactly this topic earlier this year
(https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87y21ri7px.fsf@posteo.net/), that
slightly diverged towards the end.  John mentioned the following:

        I would definitely like to see it move to core, and would be
        happy to work with others to make this happen. I feel it still
        needs enough effort -- mostly in terms of documentation -- that
        this is why it hasn't happened yet.

I still argue that adding it to GNU ELPA would be a good fist step, just
like how Eglot was part of GNU ELPA for a while before the merge started.
