This is a coupled feature request due to its nature.
I'm aware you do not (really) keep that in the packages.json but what I miss the most is some info about the author & source of the list packages. For that reason, it would be nice to have the following features implemented in PackageControl:
Display (perhaps optionally?) the author of the package somewhere. I would tend to prefer it being appended to the package name (i.e. item's label) so that it can be searched. For instance, if I wish to list every package from @ueffel I would just type @ue or something similar. Thus, the display format of items' label would be like AnyPackageName (@ueffel) for example.
Add an extra action so the user can visit the repository of the selected package. Typically from everywhere the user has to choose a package to proceed, like with the Install Package item.
