Why maintain another site?
I'm not maintaining another site. I'm using GitHub to gather data and convert that data into a more useable format.
Wouldn't it be the best to use this CSV file to create page(s) on MetaCPAN and include links to those pages from the respective articles?
I think the MetaCPAN team are planning to use this new data to add article links to the distribution pages.
OR to embed the links on the documentation of each relevant module?
That relies on responsive CPAN authors. And I don't think we can guarantee that.
There could be some script monitoring the web sites to notify the maintainer of the CSV file in case a page is gone or it is change to something else.
There are plenty of enhancements I'm planning. That's one of them.
If you really want to put this on a separate site, I'd generate static pages from the CSV file and use GitHub pages to host it.
That's pretty much what I'm doing. Except there's not a site - just a JSON file.

I meant by MetaCPAN - not relying on the authors.
