This seems terribly biased towards more recent projects. Older projects might be used WAY more than the ones on Github, but because they started their lives on some other code hosting service, they will be left out of this evaluation.

The results are biased towards favorited projects because it's a good indication of their perceived importance by the GitHub community.
