I've seen ELPA but have not yet found the time to look at it in more
detail.  But I am confident that putting the new BBDB there will be
fine.  I assume that when you call the new BBDB on ELPA bbdb3, this
does not require to rename the code itself. (If necessary, I could
do that, too. But then I'd prefer a name that does not have a
version number "built-in".)

That would be perfect. At present, I consider the new BBDB in an
alpha phase. It works pretty well for me and I believe that others
have started to use it, too. But there are still some rough edges
that I want to remove. So synchronizing bbdb3 on ELPA with the CVS
repository of BBDB on savannah would be a good solution.
