Add number of repositories contributed to.

It would be neat to see the total number of repositories every organization from the index was contributing to.

In addition to @dzintars' suggestion, it would be great to break that number down into the actual repos where the contributions are being made and whether other OSCI listed firms have contributed into those repos.

I just simplified that to the single number. Because, i believe companies like Google contribute up to thousands of repositories. For sure, it's a "nice to have" feature, but for the statistics overview (main view) number of repositories would be more than enough IMHO.

Export the data as CSV for custom analytics with external notebooks?

Thanks @dzintars and @abitrolly,

I do understand @dzintars' point about the total number of records, but it's always better to filter down after the data has been made available. There are CIOs in enterprises (unqualified) who would be interested to know how firms are contributing and the relationship they have to open source.

@abitrolly - Great idea about the CSV as the first pass. The priority for more complex filtering and visualisation can be determined later once the value of the data is known and understood.

Counting repos doesn't sound like something hard. Two days should be enough, maybe even a few hours. But as a person with an income below $200 a month I don't think it is a sustainable strategy to do this, until there is some kind of sustain OSS mechanism in place. Let CIO think about it.

We published a PR (#93), in which we added both the number of repositories @dzintars and with a detailed breakdown of commits from the company in the repository (both reports show activity for 1 day)

@vlad-isayko's PR still waiting review? Anyway I think this is really useful data and necessary for my suggestion in https://github.com/epam/OSCI/issues/67
