Events before PublicEvent?

I have noticed that GHArchive lacks events that happened before the PublicEvent. For example, the first PR of PyTorch according to GHArchive is pytorch/pytorch#480 , so the first 479 pulls and issues are never recorded despite being public now.

My question is how it's possible to collect this information? They seem important.

This one is expected IMHO - GHarchive only has public activity at any given point in time. So, before the PublicEvent project was private so its events were not archived then, and now there is no way to get them back.

@igrigorik correct me if I'm wrong...
