We've been tossing some ideas around about more statistics in general at GitHub, but I'd like to point out a lot of these things — number of forks, followers, issues, commits, and so on — are available through the API today. It sounds like it'd be an awesome hack day project for someone to work on, if one were so inclined. :)

Yeah. I forgot to mention in the post that the GH API does make it possible to pull all of these out. But having to write your own service, while fun, is time consuming. I would prefer to have you build in the feature and then pay you for it. Looking forward to where you take the stats :)
