And if that is not enough for some reason, then what exactly should
the contributor of a package say, and where, to express such a
statement?

Also, there are packages distributed with Emacs which can be
considered not "clearly" a change to Emacs -- should the same policy
be used for them?  E.g., Gnus or Org or ERC -- they are add-ons that
have no direct effect on the Emacs core.
