17:19:03jackdaniellukego: you may track individual repositories by selecting "watch repository" (the same goes for people)
17:19:32jackdanielyou may also check the repository graph via github user interface (click "forks" and you'll see the tree, there are other views at commit data)
17:20:08jackdanielthe only thing missing from things you describe is the "integration branch", but that requires a separate maintanance effort, so you'd need to find a person who does that
17:40:02alanzThe other thing that's missing is discovery, in the sense of being a logical place to look for where the community is. Perhaps keeping https://cliki.net/CLIM and https://cliki.net/McCLIM fully up to date would help
