🏥 GitHub Org Health Report — April 20, 2026

[github-actions[bot]]

This report analyzes public, non-archived repositories in the github organization as of 2026-04-20, covering activity trends for the last 7 and 30 days.

⚠️ Data Note: GitHub's integrity policy filters some internal/private items from public API responses. Counts marked as "visible" reflect publicly accessible data only. Total open issue counts are sourced directly from repository metadata and represent the full count.

📊 Volume Metrics

Overall Status (from repository metadata)

Metric	Count
Public Non-Archived Repositories	200
Total Open Issues (all repos, summed)	7,843

Recent Activity (Visible Public Data)

Metric	7 Days	30 Days
Issues Opened	70	70
Issues Closed	90	90
PRs Opened	72	72
PRs Closed	94	94

The 7-day and 30-day visible counts being equal reflects that most recent visible activity falls within the 7-day window, with internal repo activity filtered by integrity policy.

🏆 Top 5 Most Active Repositories (by Issue + PR Activity)

Repository	Issues (30d)	PRs (30d)	Activity Score
gh-aw	79	88	422
gh-aw-mcpg	42	10	114
gh-aw-firewall	16	7	53
erblint-github	0	2	6
ai-moderator	0	1	3

Activity Score = Issues × 2 + PRs × 3. The gh-aw repository dominates with high issue and PR volumes — expected for an active agentic workflow platform.

Top Repos by Open Issues Backlog

Repository	Open Issues	Stars
codeql	1,382	9,499
copilot-cli	1,148	10,178
spec-kit	631	89,477

Most Commented Open Issue	Issue #27099 (120 comments)	No-Op Runs in gh-aw — may need resolution

💡 Commentary and Recommendations

Key Observations:

1. gh-aw is the most active repo — with 79 visible issues and 88 PRs in the sampled period, the GitHub Agentic Workflows repo is the clear center of gravity. The No-Op Runs issue ([aw] No-Op Runs #27099) has 120 comments and likely represents an ongoing operational concern worth prioritizing.

2. Large backlogs in key projects — codeql (1,382 open), copilot-cli (1,148 open), and spec-kit (631 open) have substantial open issue backlogs. These high-star repos may benefit from triage sprints.

3. Automation dominates activity — Bots (Copilot, github-actions, dependabot) account for the majority of visible PR and issue activity, reflecting a healthy automation culture but also making human contribution harder to distinguish in aggregate metrics.

4. Strong PR merge rate — More PRs closed (94) than opened (72) in the visible period suggests good PR throughput and healthy review velocity.

5. Issue resolution is healthy — 90 issues closed vs 70 opened in the visible period indicates the org is closing issues faster than new ones are filed (at least in public repos).

Recommendations for Maintainers:

• 🎯 Triage codeql and copilot-cli backlogs — High star repos with 1000+ open issues may benefit from issue triage sessions and label cleanup
• 🔍 Investigate gh-aw Issue [aw] No-Op Runs #27099 — With 120 comments it's the most active discussion and may represent a systemic operational issue
• 📋 Improve issue assignment — ~74% of sampled open issues are unassigned; assigning owners improves accountability
• 🏷️ github-mcp-server backlog — 315 open issues in a 29k-star repo that's growing rapidly deserves attention

📋 Full Data & Methodology

Data Collection

• Report Date: 2026-04-20
• Repositories Analyzed: 200 public, non-archived repositories
• Issues Analyzed: 117 open + 90 closed (sampled, visible public data)
• PRs Analyzed: 72 opened + 94 closed (sampled, visible public data)
• Data Period: Last 30 days (2026-03-21 to 2026-04-20)

Methodology

• Repository list fetched via GitHub MCP search_repositories (200 repos, 2 pages)
• Issues and PRs fetched via org-wide search queries with date filters
• Activity scores: Issues × 2 + PRs × 3 (weighted toward PR contribution)
• Open issue totals sourced from open_issues_count field in repository metadata (full count)
• Analysis performed with Python (pandas, matplotlib, seaborn)
• GitHub integrity policy filters private/internal items from public API responses; visible counts are a lower bound

Limitations

• Integrity policy filtering means visible issue/PR counts are a subset of total org activity
• github is a very large organization — some repos may have limited public activity visibility
• Bot activity (Copilot, dependabot, github-actions) is counted alongside human activity in author tables
