Detect fishy hackathon submissions
Methods
Uses Github API
Marks repository as "fishy" (read: suspicious) if any of below are met:
- has fewer than 5 commits
- has a few extremely large commits (eg. > 200 lines)
- the first commit is dated before the hackathon start date.
Disclaimer: There will obviously be a lot of false positives in repositories that are marked as fishy. However, the goal of this project is not to judge which projects are fishy, but instead highlight potentially suspicious repos for further investigation by humans.
