Option to filter entries with no description #73

Description

"This package or repository does not provide any documentation"

By far the biggest weakness with ReaPack in my opinion is the massive number of scripts that have zero description whatsoever.
It's shocking that developers would create and post a script without as much as a few word description as to what it does. It's often difficult or impossible to easily find any information on the forums either.

It would be a big help if there was an option to filter out entries that lack a description.
Ideally, publishing a script without any info would be like sending an email without a subject "are you sure you want to send this with no subject?", but a ReaPack filter might incentivize more authors to say what a script actually does.

Another possibility is to allow other users to fill in empty descriptions like a type of community notes, that way only one user has to search for what a script does, instead of every user.

Too many great scripts get overlooked due to lack of description, and requiring users to install/run scripts to guess what they do can lead to script clutter in addition to being time-consuming.

Thanks for the consideration. :)
