It would be awesome if Github exposed a metric for contribution responsiveness. - The average time it takes for a member to reply to a pull request. - The average time it takes to merge a pull request. - The percentage of pull requests that get merged. These metrics will vary pretty widely even between repos that are trying to be responsive. Maybe just comparing these metrics to the their historical values within the same repo would shed some light on whether or not the members are becoming unresponsive. Maybe there are better metrics.
