I think this would not cut it.
As I wrote, almost any package using `git-version' is going to create
a version mismatch. This is because we consider
(git-version "X.Y" revision commit)
to be greater than "X.Y" whereas Repology either ignore the version, or
consider it to be a pre-release before "X.Y". See, e.g., "emacs:circe"
project, or "joycond". This, I think, the most prominent category of
comparison failures.
Also, there are versions which are plain wrong, e.g., "emacs:csv-mode",
and disqualify correct and up-to-date version. There are also version
disagreement in, e.g., "colobot", or upstream disagreement, e.g.,
"emacs:scala-mode".
See also "emacs:geiser-racket", "python:folium" or "higan" for other
projects with versioning issues.
Regards,
