Low Commit count suggests nothing other than maybe lower traffic. I've been able to keep issues the main repo under 50 issues most of its life. I admit work towards the next major version has let this slip upwards. Also effort is split among multiple repos. Repos where I'm far from the biggest contributor. The core is small and manageable. Which is a good place to be 9 years in (7 of those open to the public).

Yeah exactly 7 years tomorrow. Wow time flies.
