Description

It would be nice to be able to see a description of a dependency when hovering over that dependency in a cabal file.

Packages already have such a description field, the tricky part of this issue is to extract a given package's description from the correct package database.
We should already have access to the package database, but we would need to be able to decide which package database corresponds to the current cabal file.
