This is a neat idea. Definitely needs tuning.
- I tried it on a repo that has very obvious boosting tells, like 99% of stars from week old or less accounts and it had higher trust signal than my own very much so real project. The issue to star ratio gave 5/5 despite the issues being core contributor created.
- In same vein as above, it seems to prefer open issues over closed ones in the scoring.
Have you considered scoring contributors/authors/issue creators separately to use as a proxy, instead of measuring the core things that are being gamed?
- davey2wavey 3mo agoI appreciate the feedback! That’s a great point, will work on trying to score not just the repo but author use too.
