Now that's funny. I just looked at one such project and it had neither 
README.md, nor files ending in d. There were a few shell scripts which made up 
about half of the project and patches to Python 2.7. So no real programming 
language used. Yet GitHub shows:

D     83.8%
C     12.8%
Shell  2.7%
Other  0.6%

Assuming the .sh scripts get correctly recognized, there is something huge 
accounted for that doesn't actually exist in the repository. I'm sure there is 
already more than one bug report about this, as it is pretty obvious!
