Description
The DevIndex top 20 contains obvious outliers (e.g., accounts with 6 million commits). This naturally leads to criticism that the index is full of "cheaters and bots."
We need to update the documentation to clearly articulate our philosophy: we do not censor the raw data (unless the profile explicitly self-identifies as a bot). These outliers are valuable datasets for researchers studying automation trends.
We will update Methodology.md and FAQ.md to:
- Explain this philosophy.
- Point users to the
Hide Commit Ratio > 90%filter for a more "human" view. - Invite the community to submit PRs for better algorithmic filters or data annotations instead of just complaining.
