When searching in crates.io, there may be dozens of crates that meet my requirement. There are two standards for me to pick one crate to use: whether the crate is popular (i.e. total downloads), and whether the crate is …

Contributors lists like Rust 1.77.0 contributors contain bots like bors. I think it's unnecessary and robs the second most contributor from the glory :l

crates.io-index contains all of the packages that are on crate.io, but the metrics ('all-time downloads', 'recent updates', etc.) don't appear to be stored there. Is there somewhere I can bulk download them? I want to …
