I'd like this too.  perl's CPAN and php's PEAR are excellent ways to keep
everyone connected with a live repository and encourage maintainership
without scattering packages all over the net.  I realize that many people
will be extending something proprietary with Lua, but that doesn't mean
they won't find, say, a Lua module for speaking Jabber from their
application (game?) useful sometime in the future...
