The conclusions don't seem reasonable to me. Higher acceptance rate is not necessarily better; it can also be that the quality of pull requests is too low: that the developers are instead discriminating in what they let into their project, and that the project benefits as a result of this.

Using it as a project quality metric is in this way similar to lines of code: higher doesn't necessarily mean better.
