FWIW -
I will continue to use MELPA for my libraries, and not GNU ELPA,
for one reason:
I post my code to Emacs Wiki (to locked pages). MELPA pulls
the code from the wiki (daily). I do not need to use GIT etc.
This is the way I prefer to work. Call it old-fashioned or
bizarre; I don't care.
So you might recommend that packages not be put in MELPA, but
some will continue to be put there, including perhaps some that
you might someday want to include in Emacs.

This was refused by Stefan for my libraries (for which FSF has papers),
based on the fact that I do not use GIT, so any updates I make to them
would not be done directly in the repository. It was not acceptable to
update elsewhere (e.g. the wiki) and then have someone or a program
pull from there to the repository when appropriate. So be it.
