I'm not aware of concrete discussions w.r.t. the vision document, but 
the two major improvements that come to mind are GitHub authentication, 
which enables push notifications for repository changes, and some form 
of pagination for the package list views.

Also, one thing we discussed at the last DConf is a "popularity" score 
that would be used for sorting results. This would include things like 
download numbers and GitHub stars. It would also take into account the 
dependencies (which affects the download numbers), so that the score 
actually reflects the perceived popularity as close as possible.

Finally, we want to have a form of CI integration to put packages that 
have tests/pass tests first (i.e. give an incentive for package authors 
to setup and use CI for their project). Generating documentation is 
another possibility, as well as testing DMD frontend version compatibility.
