I've setup an early version of a Julia packages website, for your package 
discovery pleasure: http://genieframework.com/packages 

Fair warning, this is a test case website for Genie.jl, the full stack web 
framework I'm working on - and 90% of my focus was on building the actual 
framework and the app, rather than the accuracy of the data. 

That being said, the app works quite well as far as I can tell (feedback 
welcome!) and compared to pkg.julialang.org it has a few extra features:  
* full text search in README 
* it includes both METADATA registered packages and extra packages crawled 
from GitHub (not all Julia packages on GitHub are included, this is a know 
bug and I'm working on fixing it - but all the official packages are 
there). 
* lots of info at a glance, to help spot the best packages
* modern UI

If the core contributors (of whoever's maintaining pkg.julialang.org) think 
this can be a useful replacement for pkg.julialang.org I'm happy to donate 
it and contribute by extending it to add the missing features (license, 
tests status, etc) and maintain it. Let me know. 

Adrian
