Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
This matters because duplicate triage is a real maintainer drain, and issue-field MCP support gives agents a cleaner path to create or update issues with priority, area, and date metadata instead of dumping half-finished tickets into a queue.
