Hi Vinod,

the tracking of the path-to-linus is something that is not done
automatically yet (I have to start the process manually, as there are
some issues I need to verify--it is a heuristic), but I plan to run it
automatically.

Nonetheless, it might be run once a day, so the commits of the day will
always be slightly behind.

One thing that will help me is that if any of you feel I am not tracking
your repository, please send me an email with its address.

thank you!
