Seems like a nice idea, but where on that page is the link to the repository?

The home icon links to https://github.com/sferik/t. Not obvious.

Is this operated with some sort of commit hook or done manually by the project maintainers or what?

Edit: At present this is obviously an MVP that is probably being completely "faked" on the back-end, so I suppose my question should be "What is the intended design?"

This seems like an accidental perverse incentive. While you only get the top if your commit is accepted, I would be worried the maintainers will just end up with a bunch of low effort trivial patches.

Indeed, my first thought was actually "let's see if there are any whitespace issues to fix".

I didn't know Linux had Bitcoin tips, could have used that.
