In fact for public-facing infrastructure like this I think a contact
address is a requirement. I suggest some alias like admin <at> elpa.gnu.org
that can expand to whatever you like.

Indeed. I think emacs-devel <at> gnu.org is likely the better place (it's
bound to get someone's attention).

This kind of "obvious" address should ideally work, indeed.
This said, I'm not sufficiently familiar with the gnu.org mail system to
know how @elpa.gnu.org is handled, but before recommending such an
address we should make sure it works even when elpa.gnu.org is down
(like it is now :-( )

How about the attached patch?

Who could we ask for help with that?

If you want it to work when elpa is down, I think you need to ask
sysadmin <at> gnu to create an alias elpa-admin <at> gnu or somesuch.

I could ask, but what e-mail address should the alias point to? emacs-devel?

Thanks. I'll push it to the ELPA repository in a couple of days if no
one has protested by then.

No one has protested within 9 weeks, so I've now pushed this to
elpa.git as commit f242659bb.

This doesn't show up yet on elpa.gnu.org yet. Is it waiting for some
automatic rebuild or does it need manual intervention?
Also, how would one go about changing the look of these two pages?
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ada-mode.html
I can't find the relevant files in elpa.git.

It needed manual intervention.
Should be better now. Let me know if something is still missing,

Could you please take a look at elpa.gnu.org and see if you think
there's anything missing there?
Stefan M created the alias elpa-admin <at> gnu.org (forwarded to
emacs-devel), which we could possibly add. I'm just not sure where we
should add it, or if we should do it at all.

This was two weeks ago, so I'm assuming there's nothing more to be done
here, and I'm closing this bug report.
