They should install OpenClaw for that as well.
The UI of that page is so nice, should build a github competitor.
The user profile / contributions and PR UX is pretty much the entire "hub" product since git is a fully separate offline app.

Name one thing Microsoft didn't run into the ground post-acquisition
They are already cooked as this has been happening ever since the Microsoft acquisition and it was run to the ground before 2023.
At this point you would get better uptime by just self-hosting your own GitLab, Forgejo or Codeberg instance instead of dealing with Github's unreliablity.
There is no defending them with their clear neglet and carelessness of the platform.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's being updated with new data. But it wouldn't look any better for GH if it was.
