I would like to make my changes on the luci overview page as installable package. (opkg)
Or maybe some luci plugin?
How can I do this? I'm not that familiar with luci.
Create a new package, "cloning" the existing one that includes those files. Change its upstream source to your github.
Given that it makes a service call to a remote host that requires an API key, for every station, for every time the page refreshes, I wouldn't hold your breath for acceptance into OpenWrt. For your own use, I'd strongly suggest
- The key and URL should be defined in UCI, not in the source
- You should cache the results

I should copy luci-base?
Or should I create some luci package like I did here.
That includes status.lua and wifi_assoclist.htm so that they will be overwritten then I install the package? But then I have to keep them up to date? I would like to have some .patch file? Is there some example project?

It is just some experimental stuff... I will change it to one query... 
(or maybe not? hmmm... maybe database becomes huge... multiple queries in on query would be great) And yeah, key and URL should be configured in uci. (example code?) (it was just a few lines of code to see if I can somehow add this to the overview page). How can I cache this stuff? Is there some example project/code?
