Repology is used already internally. It would be good to have a direct link to repology page of a given gentoo package, because names don't always match.

As discussed on #gentoo-dev, the link should go to the repology with the repology name, not the gentoo name. Because these names don't always match. This could be done e.g. by storing the mapping by parsing repology api, or by linking to a wrapper which does the lookup during click time
How about to add a remote-id for Repology?
(In reply to Alexander Kurakin from comment #3) > How about to add a remote-id for Repology? What? Repology doesn't host software. Regardless, a soko bug is the wrong place to discuss such a thing.
But we have a CPE remote-id (https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/50547b7724f5b101d41396ff1ca12794), it doesn't host, either.

https://repology.org/tools/project-by could be the way to go. e.g. https://repology.org/tools/project-by?repo=gentoo&name_type=srcname&target_page=project_versions&name=net-irc/znc
Example where it makes a difference: https://repology.org/tools/project-by?repo=gentoo&name_type=srcname&target_page=project_versions&name=media-sound/scream
Ok, now this is dupe of https://bugs.gentoo.org/845009 :)
