Description

One metric that we found helpful at $dayjob was looking at how many people there are that provide the bulk of mentorship for contributors. If that drops below a certain line (2-3 people minimum) it typically means the project is in danger.

Technically what we do is simple: Compute the number of people that provide at least $n comments over time period $x.

Is there any way to retrieve that kind of information in a/this GitHub action?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the GitHub Action code that gathers and reports issue, pull-request, or discussion metrics, then trace how time periods and per-person comment counts are represented. Done means the action can report how many people meet a configurable comment threshold within a configurable period.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
