If the outside host is someone who has write access to ELPA does it make
any difference? It's just a different way of trusting people.
Ultimately, pull requests of this form would result in emails going to
the ELPA-diffs mailing list, so we'd be able to check there. And, if we
can get the people who have assigned copyright as a CSV along with their
aliases, you could check the commit messages on the way through for
authorship.
