Developer builds local-first Python CLI to collect open-source maintenance evidence
A developer has released a small Python command-line tool designed to help open-source maintainers document project health without sending repository data to third-party services. The tool reads a local Git checkout and generates a snapshot covering metrics such as commit history, active contributors, project documents, and workflow files. Output is deliberately labeled 'evidence' rather than a score, as the tool makes no claims about project quality, popularity, or eligibility. Author redaction is supported, though maintainers are advised to manually review generated JSON and Markdown files before sharing them. The project is an early v0.1.0 alpha release targeting Python 3.10 and above, with the developer seeking reproducible test runs and bug reports via GitHub Issues.
