Well, it seems the refcheck has been updated to also allow to check
Github[1], although I'm not sure whether that update will be used on the
server automatically.  I can't check either, since doc.php.net appears
to be broken; the revcheck pages are empty now.  That might have been
caused by a recent commit[2], but likely build-ops and build-ops.php
have not been adapted on the server yet.

Anyhow, I think we should work on revcheck (if there's the need for more
work), and decide afterwards what to do with edit.php.net. :)
