If repository verification finds bad repository link: hide from search #1403

@sigurdm

Description

@sigurdm

We want to strongly encourage correct repository links.
A bad link is often indicative of malattribution. And can lend false credibility to a packages.

The repository verification process can have 3 outcomes:

  • valid
  • invalid
  • failed deciding validity

We only want to decrease the score in the second case.

The score for an invalid repository link should be 0 (total, for the full report).
Or we find an alternative way to make them not show up in search:

  • Perhaps set the discontinued status of the package
  • Or we use a tag (has:bad-repo-link) that makes search not show the package
