Thanks, I'd also like to see all Emacs package use the "emacs-" prefix.
It'd be nice if your commit message explained *why* you want to make
these changes.  The two reasons I can think of are (1) consistency and
(2) so that emacs-packages? can reliably detect Emacs packages based on
the "emacs-" prefix (discussed here [0] and here [2]).
