I am working on adding more packages to NonGNU ELPA, the new package archive enabled by default from Emacs 28 onwards. Compared to GNU ELPA, there is no need for a copyright assignment (the only requirement is that packages do not endorse non-free software, but that is the case for most Emacs-related software to begin with).
Selectrum and Prescient would be nice.

A lot of packages have (possibly) unnecessary dependencies, that can be removed. A number of packages for example required pkg-info, just to extract the current package version. More often than not, f, ht, s, etc. are also just used because someone didn't know that the there is a built-in function that does the same job (e.g. my org-roam patch from earlier today).
Package-lint has been on my list, but the maintainer, MELPA's Steve Purcell, has been hesitant about NonGNU ELPA in the past (see this discussion), so I have skipped his packages for now, and also because most of the packages he maintains have a "broken" version tag, most of the time -- the reason here is that MELPA adds these manually, and since he understandably is targetting MELPA, there is little interest from his side to fix that.
From looking at these examples, no. This is what the shortdocs look like: https://imgur.com/5pIu9A6.png. A brief summary, grouped by kinds of operations with examples. Built into Emacs, linked to from the *Help* buffer no external documentation is required.
