Feature Description

Gitea has the ability to view and access all packages in your organization via the web-ui, but there is no way to do this programatically via the API. Other package variants have their own manifests to support the specific technologies toolsets but this does not exist for the generic package registry.

I intend to use this resource for automated asynchronous deployments for the latest versions of code packages published to the generic package registry, and I believe it would useful for others making use of the generic package registry as well.

Something like /api/packages/<ownerId>/generic/<packagename>/list would work well I believe.

A simple JSON api would work well enough containing just the basic information about the relevant packages. I've built a prototype model of what might be returned for example:

// PackageFileInfo represents information about an existing package file
type PackageFileInfo struct {
	Name        string             `json:"name"`
	CreatedUnix timeutil.TimeStamp `json:"created"`
}

// PackageInfo represents information about an existing package file
type PackageInfo struct {
	Version       string            `json:"version"`
	DownloadCount int64             `json:"downloads"`
	Files         []PackageFileInfo `json:"files"`
}

curl http://localhost:3000/api/packages/TestOrg/generic/examplePackage/list

returns:

[{"version":"v0.1.0","downloads":0,"files":[{"name":"example.tar.gz","created":1761612511}]}]

I already have a prototype PR that matches this design, but would appreciate feedback before posting. Thanks!
