Description
Hi Team,
I am looking at the data from the api and am coming up with random data discrepencies. Right now i am opening issues here, if there is a different approach i should follow please suggest.
Today I was looking at maintainers data
https://packages.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/registries/pypi.org/maintainers/wizardforcel/packages has 10k packages in its name but the url's dont open.
https://pypi.org/user/wizardforcel has nothing published
https://packages.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/registries/pypi.org/maintainers/wizardforcel
has attributes
```
"packages_count": 10627,
"total_downloads": 62791,
```
it could be stale data
```
"created_at": "2022-11-14T22:15:00.231Z",
"updated_at": "2024-03-06T02:47:39.831Z",
```
I did found https://www.npmjs.com/~wizardforcel however
https://packages.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/registries/npmjs.org/maintainers/wizardforcel also has a massive count mismatch.
Is this data discrepency or some logical mismatch.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the PyPI and npm maintainer API requests in the issue and compare their package counts, URLs, and timestamps with the corresponding registry profiles. Done means determining whether the mismatch comes from stale data or endpoint logic, then documenting the evidence and expected behavior.
