I am actually rather motivated to work on ELPA, but I am too green to do
any infrastructure changes just yet.
THat said, what might be confusing is the "externals/" prefix, since it
suggests that the package is really externally maintained. As it
stands, we seem to use separate branches for packages to keep history
apart, which is a valid enough reason with big packages methinks. We
*could* clear up that confusion by using another branch prefix, like
"packages/" to indicate that these are really packages native to the ELPA repo.
I also find the instructions to generate archives locally which include
externals a bit too verbose. I'd rather prefer to have a make target
that does all the work, so that it becomes more easy to test-build a
package living in a separate branch locally.
