Yes, contributor count is a more important metric. It helps us tell |
| 10 |
the original project that has community from fork with a bus factor |
| 11 |
of one. |

We can fork any random project and claim that our fork is better because |
| 19 |
we consider it feature complete. Then we can freely claim that upstream |
| 20 |
commits don't fix any real bugs, and new features aren't important. If |
| 21 |
you don't change anything, you don't break anything, right? |
