Reference repositories, a starter list

A short, hand-picked list of well-known repositories per technology. These are obvious anchors, useful as a starting point for Method 2. They are not an exhaustive index. Build your own list for the exact stack you hire for.

Feed any owner/repo from this list to snippets/repo_contributors.py to pull its contributors.

Keeping a list like this current across dozens of technologies, and ranking contributors by real activity rather than by follower count, is the tedious part. That maintenance is what StarHunt does under the hood.
