Thank you. Some comments follow.

Note: according to "gerbil-mode.el", the version is actually "1.0".
However, I understand that the file is "tagged" as 0.17.0 as a part of
the whole Gerbil package.

Maybe the whole package should inherit from `gerbil' package so version,
source, home-page and license are already set in the parent. WDYT?

Typo: gervil -> gerbil

First license is lgpl2.1+. You should also mention in a comment that one
can choose either.
