MEASURED, NOT PROMISED

Who answers newcomers?

How long a first-time contributor typically waits for the project team's first reply, from the last 90 days of outside pull requests and issues. Fastest first.

Maintainers: want your project here, with a “first reply to contributors” badge for your README? Add one line to feed/repos.txt and open a pull request. The data refreshes daily, and you can remove your project the same way.

The number is a median over a sample, not a guarantee: up to 20 recent pull requests and 20 issues from people outside the team, counting the first comment or review by someone who maintains the project (GitHub's team badge, or who labels, assigns and merges). Pull requests are used when at least three were answered, issues otherwise; with fewer than three answers a project is listed as “not enough evidence”, never as slow. A median of a few minutes usually means an automated reply posted from a maintainer's account: read it as “very fast”, not as a stopwatch. Projects are found by search (active, at least 500 stars, with open good first issues) or added by their maintainers; this is not all of GitHub. Full method · Free issues in these projects
