I think you're describing what we're already doing with NonGNU ELPA.
But there are enough weird assumptions above that I'm not
completely sure. E.g. you talk about "tar-ed sources", but none of GNU
ELPA nor NonGNU ELPA have worked from "tar-ed sources", except maybe for
the very first few months of GNU ELPA.

Philip Kaludercic and I both added various packages for which we're not
the author/maintainer. This is fine. The maintainers need to be
involved, tho, for all kinds of reasons, including to avoid that they
break the package's spec.
