What el-get currently does not do is editing any user's file.  What's
proposed in this thread is a way for el-get to bootstrap itself in a
user's setup without having to edit the user's init file.

Now, this would be answered by a known user's default load-path.  Julien
and Ted where adding to it actual loading then autoloads, I would live
without those.
