Nothing I am aware. However, we could have a script (guix repl) that
extracts information from package definition. For instance,
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix repl stats-melpa.scm
Emacs: 4.72% (1413 / 29908)
MELPA: .02% (6 + 0 / 29908)
MELPA/Emacs: .42% (6 + 0 / 1413)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
with the script attached (modulo the bug of such script ;-))
Now, if MELPA serves a way to know the number of packages they provide,
then it becomes straightforward to know. However, I do not know if
there is a central index.
Cheers,
