An excellent use case description.

I have trouble finding the app with packages interface, to vote it up.
How do you find it troublesome? Where are you starting from? What would make it easier (yes, direct integration with HAM would be wonderful; but that's not feasible - what about a separate third party app? How could the web interface be improved?)

More specifically, if you know any PHP coders, or can design websites (and, even better, deliver the HTML & CSS) contribute new screenflows which you think would make it better - whilst maintaining the current functionality.

I think there's probably some simple things to be learnt from Web 2.0 websites (like a big green "vote here" button on the QA queue page), but no-one's stepped up to design an integrated site.

You don't have to be a Midgard developer, a PHP developer, able to do HTML & CSS or anything technical at all to make it better. But the community's massively short of man power to tackle things like this, and no-one new is stepping up.
