I'm a big fan of neat statistical analyses, but when I look at the archive site https://www.gharchive.org/ , the overwhelming feeling I have is "creeped out". Taking periodic snapshots of repositories and their issues and wikis sounds good, but do we really need a log of every time someone watches an issue, and every commit message being irrevocably set on public record? That level of details on individual activity seems to have little value outside of cyberstalking

I did have a look at the bottom of the page where prominent uses are listed, but nothing stands out as actually useful tbqh
