IIUC it is possible to keep your package only in emacs.git, and mark it
as a ":core" package in elpa.git[1]. If I'm not mistaken, this makes
releasing a new version on GNU ELPA as simple as bumping the package's
"Version:" tag in emacs.git.
(I've never authored a package so I obviously don't have any first-hand
experience with this. Sorry if I'm making stuff up.)
[1] Search for ":core" in elpa.git/external-list:
