1) Popularity statistics -- like debian's popcon, gives stats on how many people have which packages from hackage installed
Popularity has been suggested for some time. I think any new features should be going into the happs version of Hackage ( http://code.haskell.org/hackage-server ) Though it seems not to have seen patches in recent weeks. It also might interest you to know hackage has a trac: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ Tom
What else should hackage do? Automate HPC, and quickChecks. Automatic package dep graph. Decentralize and distributed file serving (packages would need signed). Package signing.
