Sure, that's true. My point was, thought, that MELPA as it stands would
support the workflow of ELPA. The only difference, really, is that MELPA
requires tags to identify stable releases, which seems not a bad thing.
How this would work with lots of packages in one repo, though, I do not
know.

In terms of access rights, I am pretty sure that tools like gitosis
would allow creation of lots of repos, under one hood, with common
access rights.
