In theory we have guildhall for this: https://github.com/ijp/guildhall

In practice it does not provide a web interface for uploading packages.

If you want to do something truly exciting, you could take wingos fibers
and build a high performance web interface for guildhall with them.

This is something I’d love to do but I fear that it’s not high enough in
my todo list that I’ll actually get it done.¹

Best wishes,
Arne
