I still think code quality itself reigns supreme. I couldn't give less of a damn about a website.

Code quality at one point in time is useful, but what you want is dependability over time and responsiveness to security fixes; this means looking at the maintainer and their attention to detail.

Sure, the website by itself doesn’t mean anything, but placed into context it could mean the maintainer doesn’t put much effort into clear, unambiguous communication.
