Well IndieDB, ModDB, Desura, FPSBanana/GameBanana, & Polycount among other platforms offer a lot of that functionality suggested, so perhaps Epic Games can either learn and adapt based off those communities to build their own service (unlikely) or create a partnership with one or a couple of those websites to to create a dedicated sub-section on their website for UE4 Developers (more likely), though a lot of those websites listed have some basic form of that already in place.

Although Crytek had the right idea back before Crydev.net was converted to cryengine.com, where they offered you the tools to create both teams and projects linked to those teams (similar to Steam Greenlight pages) which offered A LOT of the functionality mentioned above BUT the problem that Crytek came to realise is that a lot of the projects and teams listed on Crydev.net were either dead, badly organised an/or pretty much SPAM/Troll focused.

However I feel with the UE4 Community, Moderators & Epic Games staff will factor into making such a service’s (if implemented) outcome different to that of Crytek’s

P.S. Just don’t add in the DRM system they had back on CryENGINE 3 project(s) & Crydev.net teams requiring you to have an active Internet connection to open your project and yes I know Epic Games is totally against DRM polices such as these or for DRM in general but I figured I’d mention it anyway as an example of such a system could go wrong.

Don’t get me wrong, it was handy for keeping your project secure, as only those apart of your Crydev.net team could open it if you so chose to set it up that way BUT if Crydev.net was to ever go offline than you were pretty much SCREWED ;(

I get what you’re saying, I’m just not sure if they’ll partner up.

I’d love to just have a personal developer’s page on here or even just a more-glorified profile page.
