Issues with this formula being a fork

[ek9]

There are a few issues regarding this formula being a linked github fork:

1. It cannot be found via search ( https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=locale+formula )
2. Any type of contributions on this formula do not show in contributor's activity graphs

The first one being really bad.

It is possible to solve this by one of these steps (depending which one is easiest to accompish for the maintainers of the project):

Solution A: Emailing github support and asking them to unlink the "fork" link. Everything will be the same, we will only loose the "fork from daschatten/locale-fromula" message below the repositories name at the top.

Solution B: Recreate the repository (someone with access to organizatio has to remove this repository, create a new one (NOT doing it by fork) and then push all the contents.

Solution C: Ask if @daschatten plans to maintain his repository and perhaps he can just archive this. I've made an issue on his repository asking what is his stance regarding maintaining his project: daschatten#1

Let me know what you think, I believe this formula would be a lot more popular (user & contribution wise) if it could be found via github at least.

@myii WDYT?

• It cannot be found via search ( https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=locale+formula )

• Any type of contributions on this formula do not show in contributor's activity graphs

I would add : you cannot search within the repo :/

@n-rodriguez I found some of these issues in the past but it seems that GitHub has improved at some point so it's not as bad as it used to be. Collecting that in a list, where ticked means it is now solved:

• It cannot be found via search ( https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=locale+formula )
  • As mentioned in Slack, technically it can be found using fork:true, even more so with org:saltstack-formulas.
  • Or just search from https://github.com/saltstack-formulas.
• Any type of contributions on this formula do not show in contributor's activity graphs
  • We also have the AUTHORS file as well, which alleviates some of this issue (if it were to cause problems).
• You cannot search within the repo
  • I used to have trouble with this previously but it seems to be working now.
  • E.g. https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/locale-formula/search?q=locale.present&unscoped_q=locale.present
  • UPDATE: Found a repo where this search isn't working so I've unchecked this: https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/golang-formula/search?q=libtofs.jinja&type=Code

That first issue is still a problem and there could be other implications. Let's raise it in Slack to see what can be done about it.

@n-rodriguez There was a little discussion in Slack about this, starting from here.

Problem with https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/golang-formula/search?q=libtofs.jinja&type=Code, so unchecked that entry.
