Description

Read all events from github (from commits to pushes to merges to acl, etc) and store them in a database for later use. The idea here is to be able to:

  • investigate security incidents (audits -- warn on force pushes, suspicious activity, etc)
  • show interesting statistics, perhaps even part of nodejs.org (pushes day/interesting people/new joins/etc)
