By default, base.html makes a request to clustrmaps with the id Xha1v8a6ENHDAgZ2dJoH85LCl6H1VwpYfgwfbgau8r4. Clustrmaps lists itself as:

ClustrMaps is a website optimization solution that helps businesses track website visitors and conduct searches for addresses, phone numbers, and licenses from within a centralized platform. It lets staff members utilize geographical location-based heatmaps to visualize and highlight countries and locations with the highest website traffic.

If this is indeed analytics/spyware, it should be disclosed in the README.md and the anti-feature should be opt-in. Clustrmaps appears to keep a database of all people in the US and associates your web traffic with your real identity and location.
