NPM really exacerbated the problem with the npms.io ranking service. They rank searches like https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=pad%20string https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=pad%20string on metrics like "quality" and "maintenance". They track how many issues are open more than 7 days, more than 1 month and more than 1 year in order to make a judgment, so there's a strong incentive to aggressively close issues early
