Filter spam issues #63

Open Sagelyyy opened 4 months ago

Sagelyyy commented 4 months ago

It seems someone has spammed new issues on their empty repo with good first issue tags, among others, and filled up most of the pages with just empty spam issues.

Any ideas how this could be filtered out? Maybe add a field to not include Repos with less than x contributors?

@spj2401Dev That's a good idea! There is a repo's stars that is included in the data, and you could perhaps use this as a proxy to determine if the repo is spammy.

Another thing that could be useful is to also check the issue description to rank issues with descriptions higher, as it is oven helpful to have more than a title for a issue. Especially if you are new to a repo.

With only the Repo stars I think it's hard to determine how spammy a repo is, new repos usualy have only a few starts but could still have proper non spam issues
