I feel like there's a very fine balance for the effort required to publish a package.

Too easy and you get npm.

Too hard and you get an empty repo.

I feel like Java is actually doing a relatively good job here. Most packages are at least documented a bit, though obviously many are outdated.

Uh, there are an absolute fuckload of Java libs out there with nothing more than auto-generated garbage Javadocs.
