Description
It is all too common for repos to not add a tag for a crate release.
It would be great if this tool could issue a warning if the repo doesnt have a tag to match the crate version in my lock file.
This check can also be used to assist with problems like #441 and #606 to check when the repo contained the crate, if it currently doesnt contain the crate.

Research direction
Start by tracing how cargo-unmaintained reads crate versions from the lock file and emits warnings, then inspect how it accesses repository tags. The change should warn when a repository lacks a tag matching the used crate version and support investigating historical crate presence as described in #441 and #606.
