    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.

You aren't required to.


    This also doesn't depend on DNS


But it still depends on some kind of lookup service.

Yes. A lookup service ANYONE can run. Including as a DHT.


    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?


I said "could", I just mean it doesn't have to be on an ICANN domain. Technically it doesn't even have to be on the internet, it could be on a book or something :)
