No, I just cannot mirror it on the Emacsmirror, but that does not really
matter because I also could not mirror any other package which uses
`provide-me'.  I extract metadata for all mirrored packages, including
the provided features, and the respective code does not support
`provide-me'.  I don't intend to support that form until at least halve
a dozen packages use it.
