If this will be a package that's not bundled with Emacs, its
development and release schedule doesn't have to be synchronized with
Emacs, unless the package needs some features not currently available
in Emacs 29 or earlier.  But if there's intent to perhaps include this
package with Emacs, then for that to happen in Emacs 30.1, the
decision should be earlier, perhaps within the next 4-5 months.
Because, though the _release_ of Emacs 30 is probably a year or so
away, we might decide to cut the emacs-30 release branch before the
end of 2023, and any additional new features after that would be
harder to get into the release branch.
