The Community Corrosive Effects of CLAs
>One problem is discoverability. GitHub lists forks in an un-sort-able manner.
This obviously doesn't solve the problem generally, but I recently found an extension called lovely-forks[1], that automatically shows the most starred fork for every github repository.

Fix it, Fork it, Fuck off
The post resonates with me as an OSS user and a contributor. Many a brave souls have taken to forking the project to fix the bugs but those forked projects almost always suffer from a discoverability problem. I have tried making fixes and tried forking projects only to discover that someone else has done it better elsewhere.
I've been burned by this problem often enough that I wrote a Chrome extension which would _tell_ me if there are any notable forks of the project I'm currently looking at on GitHub: https://github.com/musically-ut/lovely-forks .

Best Chrome Extensions to boost GitHub
Lovely forks is a chrome add-on built to bring your notice to notable forks (i.e., forks with the most stars) for GitHub projects. It helps to keep track of the community-appreciated fork by adding a subscription under the repository's name on the Github page of all projects with a link to that fork.
