How to gain insight into your project contributors

The Contributors GitHub Action is a newly released tool designed to provide insights into contributors' activities within open source projects, helping maintainers recognize efforts, identify potential new maintainers, and foster a more inclusive community. This tool allows users to track metrics such as the total number of contributors, their contributions, and individual activity, all while maintaining privacy by using publicly available data. It is designed to work across entire GitHub organizations or individual repositories, aiding in project health assessment and identifying areas requiring additional support. Users can implement the Action by setting up a repository, selecting a workflow, customizing it, and setting permissions using a GitHub token. The tool aims to support open source maintainers and OSPO managers by enhancing engagement and collaboration within the open source ecosystem.
