Debian.org hosts a lot source code. It's difficult to search through it,
because it doesn't get indexed by search engines. I try to explain the
usefulness of my suggestion on a random example.
For example, I was wondering which package/script/program is

Interesting.
Nevertheless, nobody is required to host stuff there
Well, that's the root of the issue. Of course, not saying anyone should
