The tool that allows you to do this: "This little coffee script will watch Wikipedia for edits from a set of named IP ranges and will tweet when it notices one. It was inspired by @parliamentedits and is used to make the @congressedits feed available"

Joseph,

I am thinking you intent is different (i.e. commits to github are _good_ things). :-)

Checking the github API, it does not look like they expose the IP of the commiter for the commit: https://developer.github.com/v3/git/commits/

I'm pretty sure the store it but perhaps for privacy reasons do not wish to expose it?

Hmm, interesting. How about the same for commits to Github?

For what it’s worth, all the Wikipedia edits so far seem to be good things (correcting grammar, improving style, etc.).

I would prefer to call those sorts of edits 'neutral' - they do not alter the content in either (or any) direction.
