Thank you. Some comments follow.

This is not the correct version number. Main file indicates "0.01".

export -> exports or even, provides

I would also drop the "for Elisp programmer" part.

The correct version number seems to be 1.5.2 on the GitHub repository,
and 2.9 on emacswiki. However, using Emacswiki as a source is not an
option, since there is no archival for outdated releases there, AFAICT.

Are we stuck with an old release?

Since you're targetting a specific commit, you need to add a commit and
a revision binding at the top of the definition. See, e.g.,
emacs-vterm-toggle.

Could you explain quickly what SDCV is in the synopsis?

The description needs to consist of full sentences.


Could you send updated patches?
