Abstract
Level of contributors' activity around an Open Source Software (OSS) project is one of the key factors in terms of its survival and success. There are several factors that affect a developer's decision to join an OSS project, yet little research examined the influence of third-party assessments on a developer's intention to join a project. Drawing on signaling theory, this manuscript explores how third-party assessment can influence a developers' decision to join an OSS project. In order to test it, vignette survey study was conducted manipulating reputation, development experience, and a number of current OSS projects of existing developers in the OSS project. The findings suggest that all three signals have a positive influence on developer's decision to join the OSS project. This suggests that projects seeking to expand the number of contributing developers should consider offering information about its "star developers".

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
