Would be fun if one could easily query the package manager database with Query.

This would indeed be fun! I don't know how generally useful it would be to users, though, and at least on my machine, the code I wrote that constructs the SQLite database takes a rather annoying amount of time.

Yeah, it is pretty slow, takes about 30 seconds to read the data... Maybe it should actually live in PkgDev, package developers are probably the ones that might use this.

I'm adding an example in #110 that shows how to do this. The package db code all comes from https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/MetadataTools.jl.
