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.
