Based on docs, the required URL to use Gitea as a composer repository looks like this `https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/composer`

Is there a way to specify gitea as the composer repository without having to specify a owner?

Something like `https://gitea.example.com/composer` would be great

From what I understand, composer looks for `packages.json` at the URL, i.e. `https://gitea.example.com/composer/packages.json`, see [Repositories - Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#composer)

Needing the `owner` means I need to specify several URLs in `composer.json` instead of just 1
