Someone else can answer that better than I. But I think that
all of the code involved specifically with accessing, downloading,
and installing Emacs libraries belongs to Emacs. But perhaps it
also depends on what you really mean - by "belong" and by "Emacs
proper", for instance. Certainly `package.el' is the heart of
what is involved, if it is not all of it, and that is part of
GNU Emacs as distributed.

Dunno what "Emacs proper" means; sorry. `color-theme.el' is
not included as part of GNU Emacs. It is a 3rd-party library.
