He said to me that changes will be Gnu Software.  I know Gnu Elpa
is a Package Archive, but not familiar with the details.

For official purposes, we would like to record what we use as part
of the Official Gnu Software.  Else, a lot of questions will be asked
and would have to answer to.

I will have to see who is involved with what, but understand if you are
not an org developer.  Would this mean we concentrate on Diary and Calendar?
I think the work was done quite long ago, and interest in them stopped.
