I don't think it's that clear.
It is considered as part of GNU Emacs in the sense that copyright
assignments that cover Emacs also cover these files, but it is not
considered as part of the GNU Emacs in the sense that it's not
(currently) included in the distributed tarball.

So historically we have accepted both "is part of GNU Emacs" and "is NOT
part of GNU Emacs".  IMO the better choice is to say neither.
