It would be possible, but would mean yet more work.  I've already got
three places to be updated (the project at SourceForge, Emacs, and
XEmacs).  There are download instructions, both for released versions
and the CVS head at <http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/release.php>.

Would it perhaps be possible to put some sort of forwarding message into
ELPA?
