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.
