This is a bit of a cheeky change coming from a conversation with people saying that they feel like the uptime is getting worse since the acquisition of GitHub by Microsoft.

Adds a "Other stats" panel at the bottom showing the uptime percentage since October 26, 2018 excluding scheduled maintenance windows.

Still open and still merges cleanly. Two notes now that today's changes have landed:

  • The all-time chart from site: Add all-time graph #24 shipped, which gives a lifetime figure (95.30%) from a different angle — 90-day rolling uptime plotted since Jun 2022. Your "uptime since acquisition" metric is a different and more pointed cut, so I don't think it's redundant, but it's worth checking the two don't contradict each other visually when both are on the page.
  • Please double-check your metric against Headline "GitHub Platform Uptime" metric is easy to misinterpret #21, which argues the existing headline is easy to misread as "how often GitHub works" when it actually measures all-systems-green time. Any new aggregate on the page inherits that ambiguity, so a label that makes the definition explicit would help.

Happy to merge once you've had a look.
