NixOS/nixpkgs

Should you contribute to NixOS/nixpkgs?

NixOS/nixpkgs has a FoundDev health score of 84/100, which puts it in the active-and-maintained tier. The maintainer team is shipping recently, issues are being closed, and a PR you open this week has a realistic chance of being reviewed.

Last push was 1 days ago — that signals an actively maintained project. New issues are likely to get a maintainer response within days. The project is written primarily in Nix, so prior Nix experience will shorten ramp-up.
