I think so, yes. I've never used subtrees. Orphan branches in a repo are
essentially the same as a separate repo except that they share a
namespace for branches and tags. So, I guess, with a separate repo you
could do things like make a feature branch and then PR for this
upstream.
But in terms of use, not modifying the gnu.org side (except in
exceptional circumstances) would make the use of ELPA with an upstream
repo easier. ELPA would, effectively, operate like Jonas' emacsmirror;
there in case the upstream disappeared.
