> 5k PRs

Wow, is Bun the record holder for number of PRs?

I recall GitHub recommends to keep the number of PR to a certain level due things such as GitHub Actions slowing down.

Nixpkgs has 11k open PRs at the moment (a lot of them routine version bumps and such), so no. But then Nixpkgs isn’t a piece of software in the conventional sense: the monorepo does contain a few of those, but most of it is a giant collection of basically-independent build scripts.

that's the interesting part : forges are being abused.

Sure AI workflows might be a non-negligible share of all that usage but still the point is that initially forges existed to help developers collectively share a state then solve problems. Nowadays they are basically online filesystems with better notifications for other software to interact with and only optionally developers actually communicating.

You never could scale tulip buds so quickly - progress! ;-)
