Should we scrape/extract the list of commits for a repo? #17

I hypothesize that crawling the list of commits e.g:

github-list-of-commits

will be interesting to see/track:

@iteles we don't have this on our "road-map" right now. #discuss

I think that the most interesting thing to me here is when people do their work. This will also be interesting for dwyl analysis (I feel a blog post coming on).

Does github account for different timezones though (for accuracy of data)?

We can derive that info, yes. And _yes_ there are many insights we will be able to "Blog" about once _Hansel_ (he's so hot right now) is up and running. :+1:

I would definitely love to see functionality built for this tool that would allow us to see: who makes the most commits to the project when (what time of day/night) people do their work what did the person contribute? (docs, code improvement, tests, typo, deps update?) 👍
