Oh? I thought we chose to exclude them by writing a competing package instead 
of trying to bring them aboard.
What does it mean for an external package to participate in the core Emacs 
development?

Really?  The only thing I could find is 
https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode/issues/83, where the general opinion is 
that it would be good for lsp-mode to be in core, until they (mistakenly) seem 
to conclude that eglot is in core already.  What am I missing?
