try to extract homepage url from repository about normalize-pkg

[jonschlinkert]

I thought about this, but didn't do it b/c it seemed like it would be a craps shoot whether or not it would yield "correct" results. I think my opinion is skewed here though, my gh url is https://github.com/jonschlinkert, but the vast majority of the libs I publish are on other orgs.

It seems like maybe we should just implement it and add a flag for implementors or users to override. thougths?

Yeah, sounds good. I'm probably skewed in the opposite direction though where typically a module's homepage is set to the GitHub repo (not an authors homepage or some other page).

k, good to know

https://www.npmjs.org/doc/json.html#homepage

The url to the project homepage.

NOTE: This is not the same as "url". If you put a "url" field, then the registry will think it's a redirection to your package that has been published somewhere else, and spit at you.

Literally. Spit. I'm so not kidding.

lol, that always makes me laugh. This is in reference to the homepage field though, so we're good.

The homepage field is normalized using existing repository data now.
