On the contrary, I think that is a good sign. It means there is an active community that is opening and contributing to issues. If you check out Rails' repo (https://github.com/rails/rails) you'll see the same thing. If you've ever been an open source maintainer, you'll know that you'll inevitably write bugs and so you'll always have open issues. The scary thing would be if no one filed any issues or had any pull requests.
