This feature is already in master and will be part of Emacs 28.1.
Unfortunately, the patch wasn't merged in time for Emacs 27.

    Add new filter commands to Package Menu (Bug#38424)

    * lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el (package-menu-filter-by-version)
    (package-menu-filter-by-status, package-menu-filter-by-archive):
    New filter commands.

Please try it out and see if it works for you.

Best regards,
