As a suggestion, it'd be good if the messages to gnu-emacs-sources for
new gnu elpa packages included the package description -- just the one
line description from the first line of the .el file.

The description can give a hint whether it's something of interest.
Putting it in the subject line would allow quick skimming.  The
descriptions are usually short enough for that are they?
