Should we submit raku-mode for inclusion in ELPA?

From the Emacs-devel mailing list:

Why are so many great packages not trying to get included in GNU Emacs?

I think it may be worth considering submitting raku-mode for inclusion in ELPA. To do so would require the following:

• Filling in some paperwork for copyright transmission to the FSF.
• Sending an email with a link to the Github repo asking for inclusion.
• Maybe some code cleanup if they ask for it.

The benefit would be that users could install raku mode without having to add MELPA to the Emacs package archives (although as of the time of writing there are a lot of packages not on ELPA, so I believe most users will have MELPA enabled anyway).

Agree @tmtvl. Although I would do a couple of things before submitting the package to ELPA:

• Do a serious cleanup: I've run the linter suggested on the melpa repo and it's full of warnings.
• Do a proper versioning of the library: For what I read on that thread and understand we need a NEWS file and changelog.
• An info manual / documentation.

And personally I would like to complete the syntax highlight and indentation. The latter might need more changes.
