What about the campaign settings. Birthright, Dark Sun, Tekumel, Spelljammer, Planescape and others all had significant tweaks that made them quite unique compared to vanilla D&D. How would you handle such subsections?

I think we should list them as well, even if we just say that is D&D and list the changes it makes to the core rules. Something like:
Setting description, claim to fame, races, magic, special features, rules change.

Great database referencing 1261 pro games and 596 amateur games, with a thematic index and by year index, detailed descriptions for each books and user reviews. Some editorials (mainly game of the month and game of the year). More than 100 authors biographies. All very readable and easy to navigate. Unfortunately, it's only available in french.

Wow, amazing! I just happen to know enough french to read that. 
The reviews seem quite decent, although I would appreciate a more structured format like ours, focusing more on the mechanics. Their Numenéra review, for instance, says little about the numenéras themselves, that are a major point of the game according to Alex's review.
But wow, it even has brazilian stuff like the 3D&T and Daemon that I posted on the first page.

Yep, there's a lot of user provided content, so structure is maybe not their forte. I still prefer it to the rpg.net format, I find it easier to find what I'm looking for here. I guess asking for a truly professional p&p database would be asking a bit much... Anyway, since there aren't a lot of things like that, I tought it might be of some help, I'm glad if you can actually use it.
edit : also, note that there is a general description of the gameline on the main page for each titles and then more detailed descriptions by books. i.e. : maybe the description for the "Numenéra core rules books" says more about its system than the main "Numenéra line" description. They often provide a chapter by chapter review of the books, so... (though they're generally more descriptive than actual review).
