I think a very good metric would be the number of maintainers of a package and how well funded they are.

E.g. React has a huge resource pool and people are getting paid for development, while some (most?) packages are single dev with no funding.

Perhaps making this kind of metrics visible would introduce some humility for people pressuring latter maintainers.



That's a great point. Showing project funding is something we had in mind (and in the mockups) but didn't make it to the MVP. We would probably have to integrate with Open Collective and other data sources.
