It could also mean that the project is stable. Since you only look at the one repository's commit activity, a stable project with a maintainer who's still active on GitHub in other places would be "less trustworthy" than a project that's a work in progress.

I agree. I have a popular-ish project on GitHub that I haven't touched in like a decade. I would if needed, but it's basically "done". It works. It does everything it needs to, and no one's reported a bug in many, many years.

You could etch that thing into granite as far as I can tell. The only thing left to do is rewrite it in Rust.

Not a bad idea tbh, maybe an additional how long issues are left open, would be a good idea. Though yeh thats why I was contemplating of not necessarily highlighting the actual number and more have a range e.g. 80-100 is good, 50-70 Moderate and so on.

Be careful with this. Each project has different practices which could lead to false positives and false negatives. You may also create the wrong incentives, depending on how you measure and report things.

it seems worthwhile to only mention it as a sidenote rather than a negative score
