I’m skeptical about measuring open-source package quality with metrics alone.    •   Low commit/update cadence: Doesn’t indicate low quality. It might signal a stable, well-functioning package that needs minimal maintenance.    •   High number of historical CVEs: Not a sign of low quality. It could show that the package has undergone thorough security scrutiny.    •   Many open issues: Not a reliable indicator. Many issues are more like support tickets, and there are often many duplicates. Quality assessment requires more than just metrics!
