Not Accepting Community Input

Description

Can we identify projects that aren't accepting input from the community?

An open source project owned and maintained by a single company can sometimes want to control the projects direction and codebase to a large extent such that outside parties issues and pull requests are never closed/merged. Functionally, this means no ability to add features that are important to you.

• Is there a way to recognize repositories that have a minimum number of issues or pull requests that:
  • Have not been closed after message added for issue and closed without merge for pull requests.
  • The pull requests or issues in step 1 being opened by users who have not approved a pull request or submitted a successful one.
  • The number of users who meet both step 1 and step 2 probably needs to be over some threshold of obviousness. Maybe 7 users?

This is often related to Elephant Factor, which refers to too much control by a single company. These negative events in a project’s life that are strongly associated with too much single company control, meaning they are different than what occurs in a project with a diverse community of contributors and maintainers.
