As I indicated, I haven't kept up with development and therefore know 
very little about the current ELPA process.
It always seemed sensible to me to have a (public) development 
repository and then push stable releases upstream.
From what Dmitry says, it doesn't sound like ELPA works as an easily 
findable and forkable development repository.

I've used it as such a development repository (to mirror my private 
development)
Also, I suppose there should be some kind of project homepage.

I see a certain need for both these things, not for GitHub per se.

Actually, I'd like to leave this to you, Dmitry.
Since I'm not going to do much of the development work, I certainly 
don't want to dictate the process. I'll support whatever works best for you.
