It is available directly at:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/conduit-1.1.0/upload-time
and you may also be interested in
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/conduit-1.1.0/uploader


How would you know this exists? The whole API is automatically (if not
brilliantly) documented:

http://hackage.haskell.org/api
(which itself is mentioned on the front page)

The goal has always been that all the info be publicly available in
human and machine readable formats (at least JSON). There are certainly
things missing, but we'll accept patches that exposes more stuff.
