    Also, I think it's important to include packages in GNU ELPA *early*.

I agree completely.

    So I regularly see answers like "yes, I'd be honored to put this in GNU
    ELPA when it's finished, but it's still being developed" (and this is
    typically for packages that have seen a couple releases announced on
    gnu.emacs.sources).

How about if you respond, "We can defer the actual move if you like,
but to make sure we CAN move it later, could you please sign papers
now, and follow our practices with other contributors"?
