I’m now subscribed to all of the relevant grammar repos and will try to
keep up with changes there. I’m probably not the right person to voice
an opinion on them without consulting higher authorities but hopefully
that part won’t be required very often.

Do you think the benefit of having ts modes be core packages would be
enough to justify whatever extra work that entails? It wouldn’t help
with syncing up release schedules but “install the latest version from
ELPA” might be enough better of an answer than “wait for the next Emacs
release or build from master” for most people.
