Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently ScanCode.io already provides information in its scan results, if it finds them, such as:

  • homepage_url
  • bug_tracking_url
  • vcs_url

These do not seem to get imported into DejaCode.

What are the benefits of the requested enhancement?
Users would have all the information directly available in DejaCode. Given that packages already have fields for the VCS, homepage, and bug tracker, it seems like a sensible step to insert the informationen provided by ScanCode.io when available.

Describe the solution you would like
Once the scanning is concluded and the packages entries are being created in DejaCode, it should use the aforementioned fields in the scan results to add them to DejaCode's data model of the respective package.

This may still be relevant for those that do not use PurlDB, but PurlDB does mostly solve this for us.
