-Also non-Lisp extensions like scripts to process Org files in different

-with your extensions, at least in the form of commentary in the file,

-After files have been tested in =contrib/= and found to be generally
-useful, we may decide to clarify copyright questions and then move the
-file into the Org mode core.  This means they will be moved up to the
-root directory and will also eventually be added to GNU Emacs git
-repository.  The final decision about this rests with the maintainer.
