I don't know much about CoffeeScript and web development in general, but
I was searching online and found this assessment:

    In summary, CoffeeScript began as a fantastic idea (making it easier
    to write JavaScript code); ultimately, however, it didn’t stand the
    test of time and was pushed out by JavaScript. Currently, hardly
    anyone remembers it. Most new people in the front-end environment
    don’t even know such a language existed. Instead of being included
    in lists of the most popular new programming languages, it takes top
    spots on the lists of the worst languages ​​to learn.

If the above is any indication, I would say we have better things to
focus on and move it to NonGNU ELPA.  But that's me.
