Impactful Projects Statusboard

Description

This group defined a number of projects/goals for 2023 & one of them was to create a new "statusboard" (similar to npm's projects statusboard) to help track the state/number of "popular"/"impactful" packages (scope yet to be defined). I will be championing the initial work with a deadline for completion being the Open Source Summit EU Conference in Bilbao September 19-21st (undefined end-date/ongoing/WIP).

Todo:

• decide what to do with existing "statusboard" project
• decide the scope of packages to track (ex. "top" packages https://gist.github.com/anvaka/8e8fa57c7ee1350e3491)
• review CHAOSS metrics (~87) & tooling (ex. https://cauldron.io/)
• decide what stats to track
• design dashboard
• setup CI to be fault-tolerant
