Add functionality to report dead / malicious / naughty urls in package details #1625

Was recently searching for packages and found this one:

https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Makefile%20Improved

The homepage and author links include the following url: quelltexter (DOT) org

The url redirects to a porn thumbnail page of some kind. One can imagine why this might be a problem while browsing packages at say, the office.

I looked around and didn't seem to find a way to report the url to have it removed. Can this functionality be added?

This repo is about the Package Control client installed in ST.

It should normally not see dead links. Thus adding a "reporting" function is more or less not possible.

A button/function to report malicious packages would rather need to be implemented by packagecontrol.io web site, which is developed at https://github.com/wbond/packagecontrol.io

It is however always possible to add a pull request to remove such dead projects at https://github.com/wbond/package_control_channel/pulls

Got it, I'll see about submitting a PR to remove it and moving this feature request there.

Editing to add: the package has already been removed from package_control_channel, as far as I can tell, but removed packages continue to show up in the Package Control client and packagecontrol.io. See wbond/packagecontrol.io#154.
