I don't have a great answer but I look at the stars, the discussion section, and the profile of the person who made it. Someone might know more than me.

This sounds like a very good starting point, since the other options are "read the code" and that's not really up my alley.

Just ask Copilot to read the code!

I'll sometimes check to see if there's discussion by people using the project on Reddit too.

If it’s the comment I’m seeing, “ask Copilot” was definitely intended as a joke

It got upvotes because it was an obvious joke.
