Honestly the "This is fine"-badge for over 1.000 open issues on public repositories is very necessary. There are so many opensource-projects now as compared to 10 years ago, especially in JavaScript-land, which have an unbelievable number of open bugs. This is terrible because the majority of these bugs seem to be low-quality, so even if you are a seasoned developer with contribution experience, opening up a bug with the incentive to help simply gets you ignored. I'm waiting for a bug in next.js at the moment where 404 does not return 404, that has been open for months (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/51021 https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/51021). I don't have the time of writing a PR, but I have written countless PRs and bug-reports and worked on many other open-source projects, so I think I have done my share. It is elitist, but I wish there was a way for maintainers to sort bugs by the reputation of the reporter, so projects can prioritize high-quality issues.

It's "1000 open issues on public repositories you own", not "1000 open issues created by you on public repositories". Both would be interesting, though.

  I don't understand your comment. Who would be able to open a 1000 issues? Are you referring to trolls?

Yeah, if only there was some way for people to exchange value... Like, you know, paid licenses, support tiers, something that Ancient Romans called running a business. /s But no, everything must be free, and then shock-and-surprize: open issues are piling up and nobody wants to deal with them.

  Open source software and GitHub existed 10 years ago, and what I said was that either the quality of issues or the quality of software decreased. You are saying people have less time for their projects now as compared to 10 years ago.
