Description

The software pages for tidyverse and tidymodels have quite sparse Contributors sections as they are referring to the meta package instead of the ecosystem as a whole.

This is "worse" for tidyverse as it lists a mere 5 contributors.

I see that tidyverse also have a tag named tidyverse that might be better to reference to?

Research direction

Start by comparing the tidyverse and tidymodels software pages with the linked tidyverse tag page, focusing on how the Contributors sections are populated. Determine whether the pages should reference the ecosystem tag or otherwise represent the broader ecosystem, then verify that both pages show appropriate contributor information.
