How to identify all modules hosted on drupal.org that depend on a given module?

Question

Assume any contributed module X (e.g Quiz) on drupal.org (=D.O), or any of its sub-modules Y (e.g Quiz Stats). Any such (sub-)module may depend on one or more other contributed (sub-)modules Z (e.g Charts, disclosure: I'm a co-maintainer), as indicated in the (sub-)module's info file (e.g in the last line of the info file of the Quiz Stats module).

My question: How can I identify all modules X and submodules Y, which depend on module Z?

The question about "Is there a drupal.org API for retrieving the list of available modules?" is somehow related (not a duplicate IMO), but none of the answers there seem to help to find the answer to my question, or am I missing something in those answers?

Note: this question is really about modules "on drupal.org", so I may not even have Drupal installed anywhere ... Think of this question in the context of, for example, a d8rules campaign, where somebody wants to try to find other modules depending on Rules to reach out to the module (co-)maintainers of those other modules (for whatever reason related to such campaign).

Answer 1

As was mentioned above the solution could be parsing info files of all projects hosted on drupal.org. You can use this small tool to facilitate the process of obtaining the codebase of Drupal contributed projects.

Below is an example of searching dependencies for Quiz module.

drupal-project-loader -c 5 -b 7.x -d d7_modules -y &&
cd d7_modules && ag 'dependencies\[\] = quiz$' -G \.info$ |
sed 's/\/.*//;s/^/https:\/\/www.drupal.org\/project\//' | uniq | sort

The result:
