Funny enough, I was just thinking that
'pkg publisher'
was a little awkward, and wondering if it ought to be pkg list-publisher
or some such.
Problem with 'subscribe', in my mind, is that it doesn't do a good
job of encapsulating the "modify" part of the functionality.
But maybe it's better than not.
Maybe do some mockups?
