A search engine is technically sufficient, but takes more time and is less accessible. A search engine won't put things in front of you for you to peruse and explore; you have to know what you're looking for. Beyond that, the contributors and I have done research to find and decide on the entries on this list, which should help readers avoid repeating the same process.
A git repo has an explicitly responsible maintainer, while wikipedia articles do not. This helps keep the quality high.
Regarding SEO - even now, the same day I first pushed this, searching 'lua awesome' returns this as result #5 on Google. 'awesome-<language>' is a known convention for curated lists like this one, and people familiar with that convention who are looking for Lua resources will easily find this.

If such curated lists were also available in JSON, developers could meta-curate a locally searchable union of all their upstream projects. It would then be easy to update, annotate or cross-reference lists.
