Body

As a marketplace action author, it would be great to get deeper insights from who is using the action (how many times it is invoked, how long it takes to run, ..) as part of continously developing/maintaining it. There are obvious privacy boundaries here, but I think a few metrics that benefits both parties (developer, user) could be beneficial.

Suggested solution

On the repository insights tab, add informaiton about times invoked, ci minutes spent, average runtime or similar. It could be solely based on public information inferred through repositories shown in "Used by" or anonymized from a bigger context.

I don't suppose you have any idea how one could get a "Customer Solutions rep"? I'd really like one 🙂.
