• Health scores for projects are seen as problematic |
• Trends and metrics should be considered in the context of individual project characteristics |
• Understanding the specific ways of working within a project is essential for interpreting metrics |
• It's challenging to quantify project health due to factors like automated bot activity |

• Metrics for measuring project health and contributor engagement |
• Four key metrics: response time for pull requests, change request closure ratio, release frequency, and contributor risk |
• Response time ensures timely feedback for contributors and humans, with a goal of responding within two business days |
• Change request closure ratio measures pull request backlog and throughput |
• Release frequency monitors timely release of bug fixes and security fixes |
• Contributor risk assesses the risk of project failure if key contributors leave |
• Tool usage: Grimoire Lab and GitHub API used by different teams for custom metrics |
• Importance of metrics: helping identify risk, communicate with the community, and inform team growth or reduction |
• Idea usage: widely adopted by companies with open source program offices |
• Discussion of the Chaos Project and its use by large tech companies |
• Concerns about scoring and measuring project health |
• Challenges in comparing different project sizes and complexities |
