Elpa release?

Would it be possible for this package to be part of ELPA? eglot.el, which is going to be merged into upstream Emacs, might benefit from this.
Ah, interesting news. I don't normally work with ELPA because of the overhead, so I might consider it, but not sure. I think I have access there, and in principle I support the idea, though I prefer there to be a single authoritative source repo, and for this to be it.
If eglot is going to be in Emacs core, then it would not be enough for inheritenv to be in ELPA, would it? It would need to be in the core too.
In any case, I'm surprised that eglot would be merged upstream. Keeping such things as packages is much better for maintenance and backward compatibility IMO. Another option would be to inline the couple of lines of code from inheritenv that eglot would actually need.
I use Eglot with a buffer-local process environment and it doesn't need any patches. (This is by no means not a big achievement, since Eglot doesn't switch buffers before creating a process.)
