For anyone interested in publishing an Emacs package on GNU or NonGNU ELPA, we just added a page on how to do that and what to keep in mind: https://elpa.gnu.org/contributing.html

If anything is not clear, please reach out! My hope is that this document can help clarify some of the misconceptions around ELPA and demystify the process.
