✨ Use devstats to collect metadata about our packages - start with calculating pony factor

[lwasser]

Dev stats is a useful package created by the Scientific Python project. You can use it to grab package stats for a specific package. The metrics calculated can be found here

we want to use this to grab some information about our ecosystem packages - list is here.

The output of the data collected is a JSON file

• repo of all packages data is here

To start exploring how we can use devstats in our package metrics collection:

• let's begin by getting data needed to calculate pony factor
  • this step may entail needing to create a repo or some location to store this raw JSON data which we can create if need be.
• then we can add that pony factor value to our packages.yml file in the website repo.

NOTE: at one point i knew where the actual jupyter notebooks were to generate those pages but now i can't seem to find it :)
