Does npm or whatever package manager is in vogue not have a hack to make a "package" out of a URL pointing to some javascript? (even if someone has to write some automation to package every version from github, as it comes out.)

Although, this point is moot as soon as someone packages it for whatever package manager you use. No matter how hackily they do it. e.g. if there were a npm package called "auto-import-arbitrary-or-versioned-file-from-git-repo-or-http-url" that consolidated _all_ of your random single-file imports, that'd count IMO.
