You may be aware of the goodpractice package? It is very much in line with what is being discussed here.

Totally agreed. I'm not sure how we can proceed to link this page to the content of a package though

make a list of checks somewhere in readme that says... these checks are done for you using {blabla}.

that will also focus ppl on what they want to be checked i think
