It should all be in:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/nongnu.git/plain/README.org

That file is linked from the landing page on https://elpa.nongnu.org/.

(There is a plan to export that text to HTML at some point.  I wrote a
patch for it but got stuck on some dependencies that had to get to
NonGNU ELPA first.)

Maybe one could find something better, but IMHO it's not a bad name.
Even if you happen to not like it, MELPA is doing extremely well with a
name that is even worse.  ;-)

The problem is that we've pushed this name for a while already
(i.e. it's probably too late to rename it) and no one has put forward
any better proposals.  So I guess we're stuck with it.
