Confirmed. The current situation is just due to historical reasons
(debbugs-gnu started for the Emacs project), but this could be
improved. Will work on this next days, as time permits.

Is it OK for you that I'll change something in the GNU ELPA git repo, and
you'll test? I would like to release it when both of us are happy :-)

People from other non-Emacs projects, listening here, might also raise
their wishes. It seems to be a good time now, I could spend some time
for this next weeks. Preparing the 1.0 release.
