Any way we can filter by the total number of versions?

Hi, I'm trying to reduce the mirror size because now the deletion takes too long.
(approx 1 day with xargs + rsync)

I've found that there are 440k packages that only have 2 versions, which are quite obviously not used by anyone else but the authors themselves, and want to find a way to filter them.

Is there any way we can do this?

Hi,

I don't see a filter plugin that can do filtering based on the number of versions a project has. It should be rather easy to calculate off the metadata and add into bandersnatch. I would accept a PR for this. Please add unittests showing it working tho.

I would imagine it to be similar to size_project_metadata. Maybe call it versions_min_metadata and for bonus points support a versions_max_metadata (although I don't see a use case except maybe to filter out packages that get released daily).
