GitHub stargazers link returns 404 for package repositories

[juninhokaponne]

Describe the feature

I noticed that the GitHub stars link on package pages currently points to a URL that returns a 404.

For example, on the Jest package page, clicking the GitHub stars count opens:

https://github.com/jestjs/jest/stargazers

which returns a 404 Not Found.

It looks like GitHub recently introduced changes affecting some public UI endpoints:

https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-30-upcoming-access-restrictions-to-public-api-endpoints-and-ui-views/

I'm not sure if this is directly related, but it might explain why these links are now returning 404.

Yep, that's the reason

I think we should just link to the repo instead of stargazers url now

Sounds good! I can help with this. I'll update the link to point directly to the GitHub repository instead of the stargazers page and open a PR.
