Yes correct. Right now, we are query-ing projects hosted on Github, but will be expanding to our source control system in the near future.

Please consider allowing scanning tarball/zip distributions of source directly as well. It is a SCM-agnostic method that is also well-supported by GitHub, Gitiles, hgweb, and many old but still-in-use projects that pre-date Git.

It would be nice if this could be mentioned a bit clearer in the blog post and/or README; it's not really that obvious at all and I had to go to the source to check, and loads of people here seem confused about it since it more or less implies "we looked at all open source projects".

No worries. Just to point out though, SQLite does have an official mirror repo on GitHub:
