Re: Include which-key.el in the Emacs distribution

I don't have anything to say about the process of moving it into the core, but it's fine with me if you all decide to do that. I don't have much time these days to contribute, however.

Not really: the GNU ELPA packages are generated from code kept in the
`elpa.git` repository, but it can also use the code in Emacs itself
(i.e. in the `master` branch of the `emacs.git` repository), which is
what happens for ERC, Python, and a few more, whose "upstream" is
Emacs's own repository.

It's not limited to single-file packages.
The ERC package is one of those.
