> Gnucash is still a popular project, has like ~7k downloads a week, see wikipedia page.

omg they're actually doubling down on this. Libreoffice has something like 50k downloads per day and isn't listed, while among "critical projects" there is... minetest ? tesseract ? battle for wesnoth ? dolphin ? citra ?

There's qt creator (and a ton of Qt-using projects) but not Qt ?

Thanks for your feedback, we do want to fix this.

And we do agree that there are several critical packages missing that don't use all metrics on github, plus non-github projects. Capturing this in https://github.com/ossf/criticality_score/issues/21
