Two from me: * Make the textareas not do a hard wrap in the package info edit screen. Right now you can't edit (or even save without editing) the metadata for packages with long lines without breaking them, which includes breaking long URLs.
* Kind of relatedly, make long descriptions wrap in some fashion. Right now if you have a plain-text long_description for your project without newlines it just gets really wide. I think that'd be fixable with just CSS.
