I don’t really see why a classic community-driven open source project would care about what non-contributing users are doing with the software. In that case, helpful users come with built-in telemetry (pull requests).
But I guess this could be helpful corporatized read-only repo projects, or other groups that aren’t sure if they are building a community or a customer base.
Because pull requests aren't the only reason you might do a community-driven open source project. Perhaps you're just altruistic, or want to populatize some technology etc.
