This. In my experience, GitHub issues and PRs tell you most everything you need to know about an open source library: if issues are responded to (and how quickly), the attitude of the maintainer with regards to new features, etc. Most of this can be gleamed within 20 minutes of browsing, and when you combine that with a quick 5-minute look at dependencies and tests, you can make a pretty good, educated decision about whether to use the library, and those 25-30 minutes save you hours or days of potential headaches down the road.
