Yes, so either accept the status quo or create positive change.

Given that it’s annoying enough that we have articles and comments on it, perhaps investing maintainers time into developing metrics that work for the maintainers isn’t a terrible idea.

Sometimes, throwing trash into the trash bin is positive change. You don't need to put new trash in as a replacement.
