Came up with my idea

Everything started in HackerNews when found about open source project that allows to check any repositories forks and see how many stars does it have. After checking multiple repositories I understood that stars doesn't mean that much.

I contacted project owner about improving his project by adding commits ahead/behind compared to master. This information would show how active and how far ahead fork is. However after long investigation by me and other contributors we found that this is not that easy, there are no api for it and github api is very limited.
