That one is fine, but they only do GIT repo storage.

Not necessarily a GIT thing. We have for example some generated config files. 
Not something you want in a SCM. We maybe have to make changes to the code or 
get rid of these files in the repository (or just mark them as to be ignored by 
the SCM).

Well there hasn't been a commit from me either. Maybe having this thing in GIT 
will boost the number of developers ;-).
As said before. I have plans enough but lack of time prevents me to work on gitstat.

I agree that we don't deal nicely will all those projects out there. I'm mainly 
using it to check Wine and seen how gitstat behaves. Ever since Wine has a devel 
and a stable release things got worse in gitstat (I basically ignore the stable 
tags now).
