About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

This repository is not a complete self-hostable Tuta mail-server distribution

The repository and build instructions focus on clients that connect to Tuta infrastructure; they do not document deploying the full Tuta mail service on your own server. It should therefore not be categorized as a conventional self-hosted mail server. The code is GPL-3.0.
