Research direction

Start by locating the Rust crates' Cargo.toml files and compare their package metadata with Cargo's repository-field documentation. Add the repository link to each affected manifest, then verify that all crates in this repository follow the convention and consider whether other repositories need the same check.

Description

Hi! As part of https://crates.io/crates/cargo-goggles we're scraping the top 20k crates from crates.io. We have noticed that crates in this repository are missing the repository field inside Cargo.toml, which as explained by the docs ^1 tells crates.io, lib.rs and any other system that might be interested in it the link to the repository.

I'd also suggest checking that Rust crates in other repositories follow this same convention.
