I'd prefer there not be such a big distinction between the different types of packages. Various solutions
  
    - a toggle - big distinction/subtle distinction
    - differnet faces
    - or an extra tag with git/elpa/melpa/wiki
    - the non-Elpa packages are not on by default and have to be
      enabled by adding some setting i.e.
           `list-package-sources-in-preference-order'

Currently el-get has find-recipe. Which opens the file containing the recipe which is a list of key value pairs. So maybe a key binding can be added that just does a find-file. If the user tries to save the file, it will be copied and saved in the users-personal-el-get-recipes-dir.
