Indeed. Distributors are not going to go through pgfoundary and package everything, there's just no point. I think it would be very useful to dedicate a portion of the website to add-ons that are considered worthwhile. "considered worthwhile by who" becomes the big question then. PgFoundary has a "Top Project Downloads" section. That gives a pretty good indication of the things that should be advertised.
