I started to implement a new feature for https://kellnr.io. Currently, only private crates are displayed in the UI, but the users wished for the possibility to display cached crates from crates.io, as well. Hopefully a new version will be out in the next days, with the new feature.

Out of curiosity, are you affiliated with the "hush hush" group of people writing a new crates.io without the hard dependency on github and that allows namespacing?

Never heard of them. Kellnr is already three years old. It started when only git was supported as the registry protocol. I later added the sparse (http) registry API. Just a few weeks ago, I removed the old git API, as sparse seems established as the new standard. I never thought about namespacing, as Kellnr is aimed as private hosting for individuals or companies, where name squatting isn't an issue. But theoretically, I could add that.
