> I would first suggest looking into pi.dev

Looked into this one. Thought it was suspicious that it only had 7 open issues on github. Turns out they have a bot that auto-closes every single issue just because.

I honestly have no words.

Their process is outlined here: https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.m...

> Maintainers review auto-closed issues daily and reopen worthwhile ones. Issues that do not meet the quality bar below will not be reopened or receive a reply.

Seems like not an unreasonable way to deal with the problem of large numbers of low quality issues being submitted.

The maintainer, Mario, sometimes declares the repo is on an “issue holiday” where issues are auto closed. This particular holiday is because there is a big refactor coming up. In non holiday periods issues can be reported as normal.

They have a pretty decent explanation.

The idea is for it to he extremely minimal which strikes me as a very opinionated stance, and not opinions I agree with.

It's a very interesting project. Many popular open source projects are inundated with poor quality issues and prs, hence the defences they are starting to erect.
