No, because the GNU ELPA policy requires that the authors of a GNU ELPA
file sign the FSF assignment.
One of the reasons we have a contrib/ directory is that we don't want to
limit Org's distribution to files from authors who signed this agreement.

Correct.

The main reason we have an Org tarball in GNU ELPA is to let users
easily access to the bleeding edge version of Org. If GNU ELPA contains
the exact same version than Emacs, then there is no real advantage of
distributing Org in both channels. So I think it's better to stick to
the current scheme.
