A five-stars rating + comment system would certainly help trac-hacks
being useful faster.

Recently-viewed and recently-downloaded counters could also help see
popularity.

Another idea: a packages setup.py is able to define dependencies, which
are automatically downloaded / installed when that package is installed.
Using this mechanism, it should be possible to provide and maintain
certain StuffThatIsUsefulForXZYBundle packages which draw in sets of
plugins that work together well towards certain goals.

Finally, I'd like to mention that I do not think that the vast array of
plugins on trac-hacks is bad at all. While it took some time to wade
through most of the descriptions, there are really lots of gems to be
found which start to make my Trac deployment a lot more useful. And it
appears as if Trac is deployed in vastly different circumstances all
over the place, so this "lego brick" approach is probably the best!
