My biggest concern about this is that now it is in Emacs, there's no easy way to contribute to it, or follow development. Previously it was on GitHub and there was zero friction to contributing other than figuring out your elisp changes. But now, I think that Issues in the github site are discouraged, and so there will be no convenient way of watching issues and feature requests raised against the project, or of following discussion of proposed patches and code review. In principle of course, these things are possible by using old issue tracking applications and following often dysfunctional/cantankerous discussions in a email list, both of whose scope is the whole of emacs.
