Here is how we build code.etalab.gouv.fr:

- we list GitHub/GitLab organizations in a bare txt file:
  https://github.com/DISIC/politique-de-contribution-open-source/blob/master/comptes-organismes-publics

- with this list as an input, we collect data about repos:
  https://github.com/etalab/data-codes-sources-fr

- then we use this data to run code.etalab.gouv.fr (mostly a
  frontend): https://github.com/etalab/code.etalab.gouv.fr

All these parts are under a free software license, I'd be
happy to assist anyone in setting up a similar frontend for
her country -- working on the code to make it more generic,
if needed.

Best,
