> I’m going to be clear that code I put on github is experimental and I’m not going to respond to issues or pull requests Stating the project maturity is nice but not that important - it's pretty easy to glance through a repo's code, commits, issues and PRs and judge the project's maturity and how many people are using it and how likely ongoing investment is to occur over the next couple years. You can also look at the maintainer's online presence, blog, talks, social media (be it a person, a team, a corporation, startup or nonprofit). Pretty easy to predict what their priorities are and will be. People get bit by project maturity only once, and i figure by this time next year it will be common knowledge that for your random semi-popular github project on social media, maintenance is never implied unless promised, and even then not really unless everyone's incentives align.
