I would love to see this getting bigger, not just for package managers but in general. With AIs it will be easier than ever to produce spam or just poor content. We need some better way to rank and accept content, and apart from having large tech companies hiring armies of reviewiers, I would think web of trust can solve it.

Don't think that requires blockchain per se, or even human verification. It would work quite well just for me to assign my trust to various identities (Github accounts, LinkedIn accounts, etc) and for that trust to be used when ranking or filtering content.
