MELPA is also *easier* to contribute to. Aside from copyright issues, it
involves writing something that looks like lisp, testing on your local
fork, then a PR.
With GNU ELPA, it involves some fairly obscure git cleverness. GNU ELPA
could be made easier by allowing recipes, and by accepting PRs. This
avoids the necessity to have commit access to GNU ELPA to contribute.
Finally, I think that core devs should contribute to individual packages
by PR to their repos.
