Dear developers, I am a PhD student in the university of Groningen and the topic of my PhD is the evolution of Technical Debt (TD) in open-source development. I have analyzed some projects from the Apache Foundation (using SonarQube) and I realized that your project has a tremendous number (405,700) of fixed issues, when we compare it to other projects from Apache. I would like to ask you the following 3 questions:
1. Why had been introduced so many issues of TD into your project? 2. The fixing of those issues was in purpose or a coincidence? 3. Do you use SonarQube (or SonarLint) in order to detect and fix the issues? Thank you in advance! With kind regards, George Digkas
