It'd ideally be more of a peoplerank though. I think Google discovered this problem themselves when Pagerank became a well known thing.

You'd want to discard a lot of the noise in the bottom 20% of linking power. You want to focus more on the 'trust' factor.

I was literally was just looking at GitHub dataset availability and musing on this. A star from karpathy is worth a lot more than a star from open_claw_dood that just created his account 5 min ago.

In general, I’ve been dissatisfied with GitHub’s code search. It would be nice to see innovation here.
