As a starting point to get a feel for a project’s community engagement, look for a contributor guide. The presence of a contributor guide can be a great indication that a project is being well cared for, while the lack of one can indicate a lack of maturity. A widely used project may have a more engaged community, so look for signs that the community is helping work toward best practices by contributing issues and patches. Also, ensure the project has a documented and secure bug-reporting process.
