The rules are in https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Legally-Significant

Shuguang Sun contributed TINYCHANGE (no need for copyright assignment;
   though he contributed ~15LOC and it is on the edge)
Martin R. Albrecht also contributed TINYCHANGE
Alex Branham -- TINYCHANGE
aikrahguzar -- TINYCHANGE
András Simonyi has copyright assignment (see
  https://orgmode.org/worg/contributors.html)
And you have the copyright assignment

I see no obstacles to go for ELPA, unless you have strong reasons to
avoid asking copyright assignment for future contributors.
