I found a glitch in the description of the "hecules" hosted on Melpa when using list-packages.
I checked the github melpa site and the melpa org site but it's not clear how to propose a modification for the package description (specifically here, the listed "homepage" gives https://gitlab.com/jjzmajic/hercules when it should be https://gitlab.com/jjzmajic/hercules.el)
Can someone indicate the place where such descriptions are hosted ?

MELPA derives the metadata both from a recipe file [1] and from the package
header [2]. In this case the package header appears to be at fault as it
mentions the wrong URL. The flow for contributions to GitLab-hosted
repositories is signing up, forking the repository, creating a new branch and
commit fixing the issue, pushing it, then submitting a "Merge Request" for the
maintainer to review. However I'd consider to just submit an issue or if you
cannot be bothered, sending them an email.

Thank you ! I did not know that package took its information from there.
That's very helpful.
