IIRC melpa.org purges old versions, so we should probably change to
'git-fetch' here.

Well this is awkward, the LICENSE file is GPL3, but the headers in
erc-status-sidebar.el actually uses the Expat license.  So this should
be license:expat.

It would be good to notify upstream about this inconstency, but not a
blocking issue.

Can you send an updated patch?
