on YouTube ↗16m

" summary

Dashboards combine GitHub issues, PRs, Stack Overflow and the mailing list to highlight new contributors (about half of recent issue authors) and surface unanswered Stack Overflow answers; implementation uses Quarto dashboards deployed with GitHub Actions, mixing R and Python via reticulate and rpy2 and reusing code with Quarto includes. The open source maintenance dashboard is on GitHub, supports Python and R pages, and noticeably reduces triage friction.
