Severity: wishlist
Given that Emacs 29 has both use-package and package-vc, it seems useful
to combine them together. IIUC, currently the :ensure keyword only uses
'package-install'. It would be great if one can write,
(use-package foo
:ensure "https://github.com/bar/foo")
which expands to something using package-vc-install.

Your wish has been granted. Emacs 30.1 will have the :vc keyword:
The ‘:vc’ keyword can be used to control how packages are downloaded
and/or installed. More specifically, it allows one to fetch and update
packages directly from a version control system. This is especially
convenient when wanting to install a package that is not on any package
archive.
