That's great and thank you for responding! I agree that the number of open issues is not a good indicator of project management. I was more worried about PRs being open in 2016, 2017 and still lingering - this in connection with a large number of open issues seemed like a possible red flag. But it may be just an issue of triage.

Keep up the good work!

Every project has it's warts, long running feature requests, and it's bugs so minor nobody's gotten around to fixing them.

Some projects decide to hide those by closing the issues, we generally keep them open, because they are still valid issues.

And I think this is a good sign of a projects positive health ^
