Mechanism for getting "top dependents" of an npm package like js-libp2p #462

This isn't an issue with the Ecosystem Dashboard directly, but it's information I'd ideally hope to get out of the Ecosystem Dashboard if there isn't an alternative. I'm viewing this issue as an exploration which may lead into a feature request if there isn't another way to handle it.

Problem I want to solve: find the "top dependents" of an npm package like js-libp2p. I want to know this information to figure out consumers/dependents I should reach out to (e.g., for security disclosure, user feedback).

For example, I don't see a way to sort dependents by weekly downloads in the npm UI. Should I maybe use tools like https://www.npmjs.com/package/top-dependents or https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm-get-top-dependents can help?

Any expertise or suggestions @andrew are welcome.
