Just make a random UUID, publish it somewhere, perhaps with a notation "lua-package:UUID", and have it indexed by search engines.

Been there, done that. It's called a URN, and you have to have a lookup service.

This also doesn't depend on DNS

But it still depends on some kind of lookup service.

and the code/UUID could be hosted on e.g. a Tor hidden service

Why is this less centralized than DNS?  Secret != Decentrized. You think TOR cannot be cracked?
