This sounds a lot easier than it will be in practice.

That information is not in the DB. ~10 years ago I tried adding it to
the listings by having PHP scrape the slack-desc on page generation.
That didn't last, because not only was it a bad way to implement it, but
it placed heavy load on the server, even back then with a much smaller
repo and far fewer visitors.

For this to happen, an admin with the free time, interest, and php/mysql
skills will have to implement it. Importing everything into the existing
DB, modifying the website and back-end tools we use to deal with the new
information.
