[daily issues] Daily Issues Report - 2025-11-29

[github-actions[bot]]

Issue triage remains healthy: only 49 of the latest 1,000 issues are still open (4.9%), closures average ~14 hours, and throughput over the past week stayed above 15 issues per day. Most conversations center on general backlog grooming plus 160 bug reports, while documentation and CI/testing improvements contribute another 180 issues combined.

Triage debt is accumulating in a few spots: 179 issues lack labels and 506 lack assignees, and seven long-running threads have seen no activity in 30+ days. Clearing those alongside the “Other” backlog (556 issues) will help keep signal high for the steady stream of 121 new issues filed over the last week.

📊 Full Report Details

📈 Issue Activity Trends

Daily openings spiked twice this week (peaks near 35/day) while closures stayed near 30/day; the 7-day moving averages are converging, so backlog growth is minimal but still trending positive.

🏷️ Issue Clusters by Theme

General backlog grooming dominates (556 issues), but Bug Reports (160), Testing & CI (93), Documentation (90), and Refactoring (70) make up the bulk of the actionable work. Feature Requests remain a small slice (23), indicating a stronger maintenance vs. net-new balance.

📝 Recommendations

1. Batch triage the “Other” cluster to split general backlog work into feature/bug/doc buckets and drive the unlabeled count (179) below 10% of open items.
2. Assign owners for Testing & CI and Documentation clusters (183 issues combined) to keep the recent CI stabilization push on track.
3. Schedule a stale-issue cleanup session targeting the seven dormant threads plus any unlabeled tickets older than two weeks to prevent regressions from hiding in the queue.
