> Briefly glancing at the GitHub project, it has 11 open PRs and 1035 closed ones, I think those are pretty reasonable stats :)

It's crazy to me that Microsoft's extremely asinine policy of closing real issues, because they made issue closing a metric, has directly played into real organic social media positive feelings for them.

PRs, not issues. And 800 of those 1035 are merged.

This is Pull Requests, not issues. And glancing through them, the majority of the closed ones are merged, and the majority of the unmerged ones are low effort/not real, or were closed with guidance on how to resubmit them better.
