What I don't like is that you get penalized for Open Issues... 
which is a good indicator of popularity.

Also if you have 10 open Issues you get the same rating whether 
you have 0 closed issues or 100 closed issues.
But to me, the ratio of open/close is a measure of how well a 
project is maintained.
