This backend should be some sort of apk overlay to which we can add
for instance maintainer and contributor. Because apk-tools is
developed as a general package manager (not necessarily Alpine Linux)
I think the apk index has some restrictions. It would be really nice
if we can sort on maintainer/contributor and quickly check which
packages belongs to you. Also allowing to flag packages as out of date
and update maintainer/contributor would be a nice addition. Of course
there are many more features we can add, but for me this is a prio.
