Why is this metric important?

• Sustainability and Succession Planning: The continuous involvement of new contributors ensures the long-term sustainability of open-source projects. As existing contributors may move on or take up different responsibilities, new contributors play a vital role in filling those gaps.

• Fresh Perspectives and Ideas: New contributors bring fresh perspectives, ideas, and diverse skill sets to the project. They may offer innovative solutions, identify areas for improvement, and contribute to the overall project evolution.
