Add visual-fill-column to GNU ELPA

[phikal]

Hi,

I would like to ask if you would be interested in adding visual-fill-column to GNU ELPA? From what GitHub tells me, there are only two significant contributors, you and @cpitclaudel, meaning it shouldn't be that hard if there is an interest.

If not, there is also the possibility of adding the package to NonGNU ELPA.

I wouldn't be against it, in fact I considered that option back when I started the package, but I never got round to it.

There are a number of smaller contributors, though. Have you checked their contributions, or shall I?

If not, there is also the possibility of adding the package to NonGNU ELPA.

If I do this, I might as well go all the way. 🙂 I'd consider NonGNU ELPA if the copyright issue couldn't be sorted, though.

Great!

I took a look at the contributor list, and it seems you two are the only ones with "significant contributions" (ie. changed more than 15 lines).

Usually this shouldn't be an issue, unless someone or their employer is fundamentally opposed to copyright assignments.

Yes, looks like you're right.

I will (hopefully!) soon have a new employer, so perhaps I should wait for that to become clear?

It would probably be better, just to stay on the safe side.

(I have an assignment on file, so no problems on my side)

Ok, so I'd say we just wait for @joostkremers to make there are no issues from his side, and I'll take care of the rest.

Cool. I don't know how long it will take to make sure, but feel free to remind me in a couple of weeks if nothing seems to be happening.

Just FYI, I haven't forgotten this issue, but I've been tied up with other things. Since I've moved the visual-fill-column repo to Codeberg https://codeberg.org/joostkremers/visual-fill-column, I'm archiving this Github repo, which I assume means this issue won't be updated any more.
