Research direction

Start by running the shown `oss-rebuild list cratesio syn` and `oss-rebuild list cratesio quote` commands, then trace how the crates.io package range is selected. Done means the actual `syn` and `quote` crates, rather than only similarly named packages, appear in the listing with their rebuild attestations.
