Strategies to manage Emacs packages
I use a combination of package.el and borg
- What I'd like to see done in Emacs
-
Borg v3.2 and Epkg v3.3 released
borg is a bare-bones package manager that installs packages using Git submodules. It is most useful to package authors and users who also contribute to the packages that they use.

Emacs Advent Calendar 7: ordeless, embark 1.0 and some bric-a-brac
block-undo. Have keyboard macros undo in a single step (something vi gets right!).
- embark-kmacro.el: Embark support for Hyperbole key series

Stripped-down Embark?
Installing that Embark key series implementation I mentioned above, to get extra actions for key series such binding them to a key or turning them into named keyboard macros.

How do guys 'namespace' calls to functions in the same 'namespace'?
Generally I recommend to maintain all personal code in the form of tiny but proper Elisp libraries. The config just glues everything together using use-package/setup/your-self-baked-macro. See also /u/oantolin's config which uses this style: https://github.com/oantolin/emacs-config. I cannot recommend this enough!

How many lines are in your .emacs file?
I have 3720 lines in my configuration. I try to write as much of it as tiny packages that I configure with use-package, just like I do for external packages. (I highly recommend this form of organization) Many of these are only useful to me, but some would be very reasonable to steal, like:

[ANN] unpackaged/imenu-eww-headings: Offer HTML headings in EWW buffers with Imenu
I have a slightly different take on this in my configuration, file shr-heading.el. In addition to imenu support I wanted next and previous heading navigation commands. It turns out you then get imenu support for free, since one way you can specify imenu entries is by providing a "goto previous imenu entry" function.

Dragging the region
I wrote a small drag-region package once. You mark a region, turn on drag-region-mode and then your normal motion commands will drag the region along until you turn the minor mode off again. I never tested it with evil.

ecomplete: the Emacs contact manager you were looking for
I'm very happy with ecomplete now, I mostly just need the completion and automatic storing of addresses I write to, as configured in your post. But occasionally I want to remove an address or manually add one, so I wrote a couple of commands to do that which I bind in embark-email-map to + (for adding) and \ (for removing). I don't think I've used these commands directly, always as Embark actions. When I want to add an email to ecomplete I usually have it written in some buffer already. And the command to remove an email I've only ever used from the ecomplete completion interface or from a message buffer after mistakenly having inserted it and realized that's an old address I'll never use again.

Need help integrating a package into consult
I keep some packages in a subdirectory my personal configuration and don't create a separate repo for them. (Also, not every file there is really a package that could be released: some don't follow proper naming conventions, or depend on details of my configuration).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing borg and emacs-config you can also consider the following projects:
quelpa - Build and install your Emacs Lisp packages on-the-fly directly from source
embark - Emacs Mini-Buffer Actions Rooted in Keymaps
quick-autoloads - Generate bare-bone autoload stubs for Emacs source code quickly.
lispy - Short and sweet LISP editing
.emacs.d - My current Emacs setup.
consult-better-jumper - Integrate better-jumper into consult
elisp-format - Originally from EmacsWiki
prism.el - Disperse Lisp forms (and other languages) into a spectrum of colors by depth
consult - :mag: consult.el - Consulting completing-read
link-hint.el - Pentadactyl-like Link Hinting in Emacs with Avy
modalka - Modal editing your way
