The "available from" information could be on a new line to show all the
info.

I think icons are typically used for familiar things, so it would be
puzzling to the users to see an icon for a repository name.  They
wouldn't know what icon corresponds to what repository.

You can, of course, do this on your own with text properties.  But I
don't think it makes sense for all users.
