This is not necessarily about the code, but I've been really impressed for a while by the lodash project and its maintainer's dedication to constantly keep the number of open issues at 0. Any issues get dealt with at record speed, it's quite a sight to see.

JDD, the maintainer, is also incredibly devoted and overall a nice guy to talk to. He has something like 5 years (and counting) of making a commit every single day, including weekends and holidays and sick days. They may not always be world-changing commits, but it still shows an incredible amount of dedication

Not necessarily relevant, but 15% of the issues are labeled "wontfix".

With such a big project, being quick to hand out wontfix isn't necessarily a bad thing. To be honest, seeing as this project is used by a huge part of the… rather diverse JS crowd, 15% wontfix is astoundingly low.

As an open source maintainer myself, that seems like a pretty low percentage.

It's not always a good thing. In the haste of fixing things introspection of root causes may be neglected...

Never noticed this.
