To have the description recognized by both Elpa and Melpa, currently I'd

I don't think MELPA is very important here.
Until ELPA supports snapshots and updates faster than in 24 hours, Melpa
is important, to me at least.
I guess you use it so as to
distribute snapshots of the code, but I think we need that for ELPA
anyway (we already have it for Org, tho it's terribly ad-hoc).
So far I see only one option for Org installation. To distribute
snapshots, you'd have to use a separate package archive, right? One
that's also disabled by default? What would be the advantages over
Melpa? Its audience would likely be (and remain) smaller, for example.
So assuming we'll have a "GNU ELPA snapshots" archive (help welcome),
this is a non-problem.
It's either "help welcome" or "a non-problem", can't be both.
I'm not convinced this is something worth doing.
You currently have duplication between Commentary: and the homepage.
I'm just suggesting to move that duplication from Commentary: to
README.md. So duplication-wise it's no worse than what we
currently have.
It would be. A README.md, if present, is expected to have Installation
section and, basically, most of you see on the home page.
So far, what's duplicated is mostly Usage, with some additional info
added in Commentary.
The Commentary was written before me, by the way. The part about "how to
write a back-end" probably need to move somewhere.
