FWIW, my impression of the way contrib is handled is that copyright assignment is not required, though it is strongly encouraged to leave open the possibility of moving a package to core. Similarly, the restrictions on emacs version support in org core do not apply. This is just what I=E2=80=99ve surmised from observation, thoguh. Others c= an speak more informatively than me. (I do like this system since it allows org-related packages to be effectively community-maintained, and different people take on their maintenance at different times, as we see here. I=E2=80=99d be happy if of the org-related packages on github were migrated to contrib, so that they don=E2=80=99t bitrot when their original authors move on. One thing t= hat might help with that is if we could provide an ELPA repo with the individual contrib packages, though I=E2=80=99ve no idea how complex that t= ask would be.) --=20 Aaron Ecay
