Forks trace or filtering is broken (forks segmentation)

Body

Not all the forked repositories showed in the Insights pane.

Example:

https://github.com/dirk-thomas/vcstool/forks?include=active%2Carchived%2Cinactive%2Cnetwork&page=1&sort_by=stargazer_counts

The https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/vcs2l (https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/vcstool) repo is forked (may be indirectly) from it, but no more is reachable (forked from link under the name is disappeared).

I suspect it has something to do with the filtering, because the filter field on the repositories pane section now does work differently:

https://github.com/orgs/andry81-forks/repositories?q=vcstool

If try to clear the filter, then the https://github.com/andry81-forks/vcstool--ros-infrastructure appears on the list.
(does not repro anymore)

I've cloned both dirk-thomas and ros-infrastructure. But somehow the ros-infrastructure fork is in detached state with the parent repo.

Seems there is a feature on the GitHub to intently loose a fork relation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16052477/delete-fork-dependency-of-a-github-repository/79633266#79633266

This is definitely making the entire forks tree segmented.
