This has happened: https://github.com/rened/DeclarativePackages.jl. And I think it's great. There's a lot that Pkg doesn't do well currently and René's fork does many things better. I'm planning on bringing a lot of these ideas back into Julia's package manager in the future (I hope he doesn't mind my larceny).
