This bug happens when we are deleting a npm package whose name has overlapping with other package, for example,
if a package name is "backstage-plugin-orchestrator" and the registry already has another package whose name is "backstage-plugin-orchestrator-backend-dynamic", the charon will report error. This PR will fix the issue.
In the meantime, the "maintainers" and "keywords" fields may be empty in the package.json, which also causes some None type issue. This PR also fixed it.
