I do intend to. Right now the package is still a long way from being
anywhere near done, which is why I've kept is on major version 0. Once
it has stabilized and can be considered mostly "complete" I will bring
this up again.

The development model Emacs follows is much different than some
developers are accustom to in their day jobs (myself included), and is
not what other contributors to the clojure emacs packages prefer. That
along with the copyright assignment process that some have fundamental
disagreements with makes this a difficult thing to push for. I am not
the only person involved in the clojure emacs projects, indeed I am a 
relatively new contributor. Like I said, I will try, but I cannot
guarantee results.

Happy to be the one to do it.

Thank you,
