Afaik, it involves getting written & signed papers from all the
contributors sent to FSF...iow, it's not so easy and therefore I
believe that for now it's better to just create public repo as Russel
has suggested below:

In parallel to that, it's possible to research further what is
required to include d-mode in Emacs itself, but, as I wrote in another
post, it can be win/win - having both separate project and being
included in Emacs by submitting specific release prior to official
release of Emacs.


Sincerely,
Gour

Copyright issues when contributing to Emacs org-mode

Org is made of many files. Most of them are also distributed as part
of GNU Emacs. These files are called the Org core, and they are all
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. If you consider
contributing to these files, your first need to grant the right to
include your works in GNU Emacs to the FSF. For this you need to
complete this form, send it to assign at gnu.org, and tell the Org-mode
maintainer when this process is complete. Some people consider this a
hassle. I don't want to discuss this in detail here - there are some
good reasons for getting the copyright registered, an example is
discussed in this FLOSS weekly podcast. Furthermore, by playing
according to the Emacs rules, we gain the fantastic advantage that
every version of Emacs ships with Org-mode already fully built in. So
please consider doing this - it makes our work as maintainers so much
easier, because we can then take your patches without any additional
work.
