Identify the n most popular packages for COVID-19-related research as seed data for building an enriched dataset 🌱 #4

What do we have?

A dataset with normalized mentions, and a way to count mentions.

The issue

We need to count the mentions of software across the whole dataset as agreed in #2, then cut the list down to a length of n. If the goal is to find the, say, 10 most popular packages for which the source code is publicly available (to make the dataset actually useful), we need a large enough seed sample, e.g., of 60 packages, for which we can then check public availability.

What do we really need?

How can we achieve this?

Make the decisions, then do the counting :). Potentially in the same Jupyter Notebook if we decide to use one for #3?
