Hi, as Openconent we have different projects published in developers italia, one of which has a flat line as vitality index. It's quite strange because is our most active repository: 5 people working on it daily (15 total authors), many releases each weeks.

The project is:

https://developers.italia.it/it/software/opencontent-stanza-del-cittadino-core-410a6e

The flat line:

If I check another project with just 1 active developer, I see an higher vitality index:

https://developers.italia.it/it/software/opencontent-opensegnalazioni-bd5f42

Is there something wrong with our repositories or is that flatline normal?

I checked the logs of the crawler using the API of developers italia, but they don't give information about the vitality parameters used the produce the index.

Tried to experiment locally but the calculation was correct, turns out the crawler cache in the deployment's volume was stale, probably someway triggered by the rename.

The vitality looks more plausible now:

Keeping this open to hunt for the root cause.
