mach is queued for analysis. Crawling candidates and ranking them takes a few minutes. This page updates itself when the list exists — you can also come back later.
What is known so far comes from the other direction:
These projects were analysed and named mach among their alternatives. The relationship is not symmetric — how mach rates them is a separate judgement, made when mach is analysed in its own right.
