Compare dependents of two packages

This would help determine if two packages can be merged

Does this mean dependencies from the two packages will be moved into a common package where the two packages are dependencies of it ?

Not quite! Here's what I mean:

Let's say you have packageA and packageB in your monorepo. If the consumers (i.e. dependents) of each package are the exact same, then it might be better to move all files from one package into the other.

git mv packageB/** packageA/

Another way to think about it is: if every time packageA is used, packageB is also used, then maybe it doesn't make sense to have them as separate packages. The tooling would at least make it easier to find the cases where it's a good idea.
