Maybe worth mentioning package control channel being reviewed/maintained primarily by one volunteer - with some others rarely jumping in - having been doing a great job for about a decade.
You should pay more pacience to those people spending their unpaid spare time to do a more or less boring job of reviewing plugins they most likely never use or need on their own.
Still they do a great job keeping default channel clean and safe, by preventing duplicates, hostile packages being added and ensuring least quality and compliance guidelines are satisfied.
packagecontrol.io having been down for a too long time is unfortune, but was communicated/reported/discussed in all available channels, including this forum, discord and github. Various devs have been hit by it, unfortunatelly.
Also note the current installer package using internal Package Control APIs which can change at any time rendering it useless.
Besides this package possibly being interpreted as a channel injection attack, I primarily don’t find it user friendly.
