Okay, but... the commands in the keymap will all be autoloaded. So 
whenever somebody calls them, the aforementioned optional package will 
get loaded. I'm not sure what the practical issue with that is.

The issue on the other side (keeping the keymap definition in 
project.el) is that it's an ELPA package as well. And so far we've said 
that ELPA packages shouldn't significantly modify a user's Emacs just by 
the virtue of being installed.

OTOH, if these bindings will be defined in Emacs 28, perhaps this rule 
can be given exception in these two cases.
