Note that the age of bugs is the important thing here. For instance, the Pager package is ranked 169 out of 170 packages with open bugs (bad), even though it has only 1 open bug, because the bug is more than 2 years old. This bug could easily be resolved (excellent solution is suggested by the original opener, Alan Knowles), and is an example of a bug that should be cleaned up as it helps to give PEAR a bad name for no good reason at all. By fixing and closing this bug, Pager would go from #169 to #1 instantly. Everyone wins.

I do not want to make this all too complex, but it might make sense to also cram in there some information about the number of downloads for the release with the highest stability level and some relation to LOC as well. But generally I think its an awesome addition. The important point of this is that it should not discourage developers because they feel like their package is ethernally branded as low quality. So there has to be a clear chance to improve the ranking. This is especially important if maintaince of a package changes. As a result I think the history should only cover the last 12 months. regards, Lukas
