Description

As seen on the NPM docs there are more repository types:

{
  "repository": "npm/npm",
  "repository": "github:user/repo",
  "repository": "gist:11081aaa281",
  "repository": "bitbucket:user/repo",
  "repository": "gitlab:user/repo"
}

The first one is supported, but linked to GitHub, which should be NPM I think.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the NPM documentation for repository field formats and update the parser to handle shorthands like 'github:user/repo', 'bitbucket:user/repo', and 'npm/npm' correctly, generating appropriate URLs.
