This seems to be valid compared to numbers released in April 2013 [1]. GitHub is growing fast.

BTW https://github.com/search?q=%40y&type=Users&ref=searchresult... i.e. '@y' also gives similar results :)

It seems to work with @{any letter}. Can anybody explain to me how GitHub is interpreting this search term?

Sorting by "Least recently joined" is interesting. The GitHub team are all there, naturally, but I'm intrigued what "tater" is about. Yehuda Katz is famously user ID 4 but tater shows up as user 611789 through the API.

Other than that, the first 10 pages or so are a real who's who of the Ruby scene in 2007-2008 :-)

At this time (4:48 AM EST, 2013-10-11), minutes after Hacker News changed the parent comment's timestamp from "1 hour ago" to "2 hours ago", these are the updated values:

Repositories: 4,236,957

Code: 962,598,538

Issues: 5,953,084

Users: 4,473,412

So in a space of time probably equal to either 1.5 hours or 2 hours, the numbers changed by these amounts:

Repositories: +694

Code: -149,645

Issues: +889

Users: +749
