Besides, when choosing a package to use, I personally prefer a matured (in 
terms of the number of years in development and number of contributors) and a 
popular (in terms of [m]elpa downloads or Github stars or discussions on 
forums/reddit) package. These are indications to me that the package is good, 
useful, and that people trust it. use-package excels in all these places.

Maybe leaf has a better design or has better code quality, I haven't personally 
read the sourcecode so I have no say here.

Therefore I suggest to wait a bit until the use-package team finalizes the 
copyright assignment and merge that instead.

Anyways no offence intended toward leaf, it is a cool pakcage and I might try 
it some day. However I just don't think it would be a really good idea for it 
to be part of emacs itself.
