@webology holy shit I just noticed that one of the factors that contributes to the score is whether you put their badge in your README. Total fucking garbage.

@jacob I believe that's 5 to 10 points depending on gold, silver, or bronze status.

I want these tools not to suck, but when someone blogs about a low score being an indicator of security...

...and then three projects I use and genuinely respect get dinged and are within ~1 point of XZ, but someone says to not worry about that because ~7 is pretty good.

Bad metrics are worse than no metrics in this case.
