There's also emacsmirror.org, just recently announced but nothing usable
yet (see http://www.emacsmirror.org/ and I'm cc-ing Jonas Bernoulli).
This is just a suggestion: considering that Emacs has moved to a
powerful DVCS, maybe it makes sense to make ELPA and emacsmirror.org
hook into the Emacs repo. Give commit bits and some structure to a few
people within an isolated "unsupported packages" area, and then let them
organize that area and the interfaces to it, including tracking of
foreign packages and repos, any way they see fit. As long as it's clear
that it's an area for unsupported packages, this has the benefit of
integrating Emacs with the packages people find useful. When people
pull Emacs, they'll also pull the unsupported packages, which IMHO is a
good thing. Developers can still work outside of Emacs, but those who
choose to host their unsupported packages within Emacs don't have to
rely on external hosting (GitHub, SourceForge, Google Projects, etc.).
