A related question: Why is it so hard to find a most up-to-date fork?
When I come upon a useful lib, there would often be hundreds of forks. 99% of those forks don't make any commit on top of upstream repo. Why even bother forking if you're not actually changing the code? Can we agree those are useless and just hide them in GitHub interface?
You can list all the forks on GitHub, there's even a nice hierarchy, but no other information. So you open hundred tabs and scan all the forks to see if they are ahead or behind the original. There must be a better way! Few years back there was a graph that took forever to load, but it gave good idea of commits that each fork applied on top of original. Is it still available?
