Display extra information for packages hosted in GitHub

See original GitHub issue

The ProjectURL could be parsed, and used to determine if GitHub is used to host the package’s source code.

Several things could then be done:

Add a link on the left hand side of the package page to the source code and issues in GitHub
Pull through the number of stars, open issues and PRs, as an indicator of project health.
Display the readme.md file from github
Detect other packages authored by the same GitHub user.
Display the date the code was last updated (indicates that the package is behind)
Display the programming language used to author the package

These ideas are implemented on http://nugot.net

Just FYI, think this issue/PR will be obsolete. Saw the team is working on this: http://blog.nuget.org/20170718/NuGet-Gallery-Gets-A-Facelift.html#package-documentation-integration

My take is we should show it as-is 😃 (just as in the screenshot)
