To ensure that your code can be reviewed and eventually submitted as
patches you would need to start from a clone of the strace git repo.
You seem to have no history in github and might have started from some
snapshot download instead of starting from a clone.

Your workflow could be:
- start from a complete clone
- in your clone branch from master to do your work (eventually
creating multiple smaller branches as needed)
- rebase and merge frequently (ideally daily or more) from the
upstream strace repo to keep up to date
- when done with a logical chunk of work, create a patch to submit to
the mailing list for review.

At the minimum by using a base strace clone, we could comment on your
work directly in your github repo, on things like code style and so
on.
