Having a catalog will definitively help here. You should talk to Stéphane if you want to help us on this.
Something I already thought of a year ago or so. To put something on a scratchpad: Tricky bit is to make it sustainable, packages are scattered because the community doesn't want to impose a way of working (which is legit). I would think a wiki-like catalogue, where authors can describe their solution/ code should be considered. That way, if someone doesn't care to describe, someone else could do it for him. The only link should be the name - no other meta data like versions and so on, since a package in the configuration browser should be pretty self contained. Hosting must be closely tied to the Pharo infrastructure. I know from experience, if I was to setup something on my iron, I'd lose interest with a few quarters and it would develop into another "tried it, didn't work, can't shutoff, can't migrate away" sort of thing...
