Agreed; what about putting READMEs etc. elsewhere, like under
‘share/doc/PACKAGE’ if we want to preserve them?

I agree that these two points make MELPA (at least the MELPA server)
unsuitable for our purposes.
Of course it’s still useful to import recipes from there and use them as
a starting point for packages.

Agreed.
