Yup.  It's basically what the Gnus developers wanted so it's probably
close to what you'd like :)

OK.  If you or Stefan decide to use the Gnus post-receive hook for the
GNU ELPA or whatever, just let me know and we can move it out to its own
repo or otherwise make it a standalone tool you can depend on.  For now
it's a Gnus-only thing.

Specifically for the GNU ELPA it could be better integrated with the
underlying repo structure, customized specifically for commits against
an ELPA repo.
