Any thoughts on what factors should be included in such a metric? I think it should really include factors that it would be hard for anyone to argue with. Currently the individual factors are:

Not having too many CPAN Testers fails
Having a META.json or META.yml file
Specifying the min perl version required for the dist

Number (and age if possible) of open tickets might show if someone's paying attention to the dist. Like David said, much like the adoption criteria. The issues don't have to be valid, they could even be spam for all it matters, as long as someone's taking care of them.

David Golden: I thought the "min perl version" is a tough metric without considering what version of Perl it will actually run on. I would refine that metric to "declared min perl version >= actual perl version required". Figuring out the latter could perhaps be done via CPAN Testers -- if all of 5.6 fails, then we know it's 5.8 or better. But if there is at least one 5.6 pass, then it works on 5.6. And if it works on 5.6, I think omission of a minimum perl version is no big deal. I don't want to see go down
