> The wiki listing of packages acts as the "registry" and populates the clib-search(1) results.

This seems to be an extremely bad idea. Since everyone can edit the GitHub wiki pages, it means its registry is vulnerable to all kinds of malicious attack.

Many more things about thsi seem a bad idea. They're proudly making all of npm's mistakes all over again.
And it's soooo gooood that they're doing it!

The C ecosystem desperately needs an npm, it's actually coming in 10 years too late. I don't mind the naysaying.

Yeah sure, "you could have done it better", but then you didn't so this is better than none. I'll take real things over illusions any day :D!
