Perhaps you should look into "/usr/local/src". This is the place where
package managers can fetch the so-called "source packages", those which
contain only the source code.

This is also a good idea that I thought about myself. For browsing purposes
only, this is a good place to store sources. Shall we move to emacs-devel
now for further discussion?
