One might construe the request as a requirement to search the 'releases' or
'tags' page of a github repository, using some to-be-defined heuristic to
map the release / tag names onto versioned project names.  It wouldn't work
for the general case (tags / releases can have arbitrary names).  Maybe
*worse* is that the tags / releases can be removed / replaced.
