Incorrect module information in D7-BD upgrade report

Problem/Motivation

I am investigating the possibility of upgrading from D7 to backdrop and ran through the upgrade report. Prior to upgrade I cloned my webserver and fixed almost all of the issues highlighted in the "Backdrop upgrade overview" report and was happy to see that there was only a single module on the report that said "Port to Backdrop". All the rest suggested there was a version already ported by saying for example, "Leave enabled. Before upgrade: Add the stable contrib version of Caption Filter to Backdrop."

Unfortunately, once I had finished fixing the other issues and finally downloaded backdrop and started adding modules I found that almost %50 of the ones it said to add do not appear to exist on the Backdrop Modules or GitHub sites.

I am unsure if this a bug in the upgrade report or if there is another location I should be looking? There has been a suggestion the modules affected may have been migrated to core, in which case perhaps the report should know and mention that?

I assume the majority of these modules are not in core however as they are all open atrium related modules.

Steps to reproduce

install an open atrium version of drupal 7 and the backdrop upgrade status module and then run the report

Proposed resolution

Since the script checks (I assume) these locations anyway, would it be possible to add links to each of the contrib versions it finds into the report to make it super easy to find them?
