Implementing Basic UI in Love2d
While talking about this I discovered LunarML, which compiles StandardML to Lua and JS. I'm more familiar with OCaml than SML, but that's definitely one I'm going to keep an eye on.

A good dependency manager for a new programming language?
They don't matter, since the package manager is entirely concerned with files. The Futhark package manager was actually ported to SML in the form of smlpkg. How those files are made available to the compiler is not the problem of the package manager. In SML's case, it's done with MLB files (which are part of the packages).

Standard ML [PLDI 2021]
University Of Copenhagen who previously used SML for introductory programming courses (Now uses F#) have made a package manager for SML modules with MLB files: https://github.com/diku-dk/smlpkg

How should I build a package manager?
I wrote a package manager that sounds similar to what you are proposing. An important design criteria was that it was easy to understand and simple to implement, even at the cost of some clumsiness in use. I wrote about the design before and after I implemented it. It is based on a cut-down version of Go's package manager, and has itself served as the basis for a package manager for SML.
