Details

Is it maintained? is an open source project whose goal is to monitor open source projects, certifying how well it is maintained.

The metrics are:

Metric Description
Issue resolution Median time needed to close an issue
Open issues Percentage of open issues

Some issues are ignored based on their labels (example of ignored labels: "enhancement", "feature"…). For the median time needed to close an issue, issues older than 6 months are ignored too.

Strange... only README.md file was modified, thus the build should not fail 🤔

Are these metrics useful to people looking at a project? I don't think issue resolution time or % of open issues is a great indicator of a project being maintained or not, even though our numbers are good (seems to be the best out of the "Popular Projects" on the homepage).

Curious what others have to say about this - FWIW I have always taken pride in responding to issues quickly across all of my projects, just not sure of the utility besides bragging rights.

I often find issues with these metrics because a project might use issues to get feedback, or leave issues open that need to be solved much further in the future. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Also, a lot of the gulp work happens in any of our 40+ other repos, so this metrics on this repo don't tell us much.

I'm going to close this because I don't think it is needed.
