The name `project-store' isn't a very good description of what the
package does.  The package seems to be meant specifically to work with
Nix, but the name doesn't say so.

As a result, that name, in ELPA, will be totally enigmatic.

I have no opinion on whether this should be added to NonGNU ELPA.  But
if it is to be added there, it should carry a name that clearly states
what it is for.  Maybe `project-nix'?  (Not a very clear name, since
most Emacs users will not recognize "Nix", but better than the
proposed name.)
