Generalize for any repo

[jericson]

I love the curl dashboard and I want to use some of the stats for other projects. I forked this repository and started generalizing the scripts. For instance, github-cache.pl grabs a copy of issues in any repository. By default it still fetches curl issues. But if you provide another owner/repo, you can get issues from other repositories. Relevant to my interests, OpenSSL:

perl ./stats/github-cache.pl -owner openssl -repo openssl

I've gotten to a point where I'm going to want to remove curl-specific charts. (I love Daniel vs. the rest, but sadly Daniel Stenberg doesn't show up in every GitHub repository.) Before I do that, I was curious if some of my changes would be useful to port back to this repository. If so, I'm happy to work with y'all to make a cleaner patch.

I believe we can use load "filename" in gnuplot, so we could move the logo thing into a separate file and avoid having to duplicate this logic all over.

It could actually also be applied to some of the other stuff that is identical in all .plot files here right now.

I moved some common code into config.plot. It's a bit messy at the moment since there are a few variations on just the code to set the logo.

I'd be thrilled to accept patches to make the dashboard more generic. We could probably create some sort of config file to set some of the key data, like repo etc.

Awesome! GitHub has become a vital tool for open source projects and it's not easy to pull out useful data about community interactions. Pushing stuff into a config file seems the right thing to do. I hope to hack on it next week.
