Sure, the congratulations do not come through bug reports but I got
positive comments by email and on IRC...
That said I'm not opposed to try to do something more dense but the layout
is handled via bootstrap and reducing the spacing in a consistent manner
probably requires to rebuild bootstrap with different settings in terms
of spacing.
Or maybe we should not rebuild bootstrap but just have very specific CSS
for the package page which needs more density as it has lots of contents
to show.
In any case, this is not the kind of work that motivates me a lot and I
would love if someone who is really unhappy about it could give it a
try and make propositions. :-)
Right now, the main thing to try to tweak is probably everything that is
related to "list-group" and "list-group-item" as the content of all panels
on that page use those classes.

I would certainly welcome feedback once we have alternatives to show off.
Right now it's rather useless (unless you manage to find volunteers to
tweak the CSS while doing that).
