Is there a reason we wouldn't want to have support in the core?  Or at
least GNU ELPA?

If added to GNU ELPA and NonGNU ELPA, this would be the first *-ts-mode
package, from what I see.  From what I recall, the -ts-mode approach was
a compromise to add some basic support for Tree Sitter in Emacs 29, but
I am not sure if it was a final decision on the matter, because at least
from my perspective of following the tree sitter development from a
close distance, but also from user reports I have heard of since the
release of Emacs 29, the current approach is slightly confusing.  Adding
a -ts-mode to ELPA might be misinterpreted as a commitment to the
current trajectory, and I am not sure if that is intended.

If possible, it is preferable to list ignored files in a .elpaignore
file, in the repository root directory.
