If this is the purpose, we could say something like
If you would like to contribute a stand-alone package, consider
submitting it to ELPA, not to Emacs.
Would that be enough?

I find nothing confusing there. All it says is that the Emacs
repository doesn't include ELPA, which is a separate repository with
its own README file.
IOW, all it wants is to prevent people from mistakenly thinking
CONTRIBUTE and emacs.git in general cover ELPA.
