Task Details

Many methods in model mixins use magic numbers (hardcoded numeric values) that should be extracted to named constants for better code clarity and maintainability.

Example

# At module level
ISSUES_LIMIT = 6
RELEASES_LIMIT = 6
TOP_CONTRIBUTORS_LIMIT = 6

# In method
def get_top_contributors(self):
    return self.contributors[:TOP_CONTRIBUTORS_LIMIT]

Implementation Notes

• Find all hardcoded numbers in the mixin files
• Extract them to module-level constants with descriptive names
• Replace the hardcoded values with the constants
• Ensure tests still pass after the refactoring
• Run make check-test locally before submitting
