They are on GNU ELPA to make it easier for users to install them without
having to configure their package archives.

I am fine with contributing them to Emacs.  Thanks!  Do I need to sign
some extra paper or something?

In technical terms, how would this affect their development?  Do I need
to change their git repo to some other source?  How will new
commits/releases be synced with Emacs?  Would development be shared with
emacs-devel or some other mailing list?

Sorry for the questions: I am just fairly new to this.  At any rate, I
am willing to contribute them and will adapt accordingly.

Best regards,
Prot
