Where can we find the list of the 6000 repos ? On my profile it just shows 3 "and more", would like to get the full list. TYIA ;)

This was corrected by @rezendi below:

> Archive Program director here - the 6,000 repos were on the single proof-of-concept reel we archived last autumn. The full archive consists of millions of repos, including all repos with at least one star with any commits in the year leading up to 02/02/2020.

Same. Or how they were picked. I kept scratching my head all evening cause I haven't made any updates or contributions to mine in quite a while.
My best guess is it's some function of the popularity. The three that my profile shows are

- capnproto/capnproto

- sandstorm-io/sandstorm

- erlang/otp

(I don't remember the order).

I actively contribute heavily to sandstorm. I've sent patches here and there to capnproto, and it's vaguely a sister project to sandstorm. Those are probably some of the most popular projects I have multiple contributions to, though there are others.

otp feels a bit odd though, if there's and "and more" -- I sent them a one line patch to fix a build error when building against musl. I haven't really been involved since, nor was I before. But it's a high profile project.

where did you get that 6000 repos number?
I'm really curious about this too. I haven't been able to find this information anywhere.
