The command proposed by Karthik (which is also part of your pipeline above) does result in several matches in "t/", some of which are actual good candidates for a micro project.

The microprojects page at [2] should give you a good idea for what to be on the lookout for as it explains the issue as well as highlighting some patterns to watch out for.
