The NonGNU ELPA archive is operational, so all we need is to add
packages to it. The main criteria:
- Important enough that we want them in NonGNU even though we can't get
copyright paperwork for it.
- Acceptable: can be used without (and doesn't advertise or promote)
proprietary software and only requires packages in Emacs or
GNU/NonGNU ELPA.
> What is the procedure for adding or suggesting new packages
At the minimum send an email suggesting a particular package (with
a URL to its Git repository).
Better if it comes with some argument why we want it.
Even better if it comes with a patch to nongnu.git's `elpa-packages`.

Good question. My guess is that Jonas has just been busy with
other things, so you may want to ask him in which way you can help.
