Description
This came in to my inbox: https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/table/ghtorrent-bq:ght.users?tab=preview
Essentially, GHTorrent.org is scraping user profiles and putting the data into BigQuery tables. If this is legit, then this should replace/make obsolete about 90% of this project. Yay! 🎉
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the existing GitHub user-profile scraping entry point and compare its required fields with the GHTorrent BigQuery users table linked in the issue. Confirm whether that data source is legitimate and sufficient to replace most of the current project, then document the migration scope and acceptance criteria.
