When I search drupal.org's Issues, the resulting table of results includes a relevancy score in the far-right column, that often shows a rounding-error, eg. 27.13999999999. This has a knock-on effect with the formatting of the rest of the table. It would make sense to round this value to 2 decimal places.

Reports of this nature belong in the Drupal.org webmasters issue queue.

Thanks for that. Where do I find the "Drupal.org webmasters issue queue"?

I already moved it to that queue. See comment #1 where I changed the Project. You can click the Issues link just above the node title to see the queue.

It may also belong in the Drupal.org infrastructure queue. It's not clear which would be more appropriate.

This column is search_api_relevance. I'm not sure if this belongs in Search API Database specifically, or Search API.

These aren't really rounding errors, that's how floating point calculations work on computers, and I don't see us changing that.

We should round the numbers to display nicely.

Thanks to a tip in #3035716: Issue search score formatting improvement, I found that the Views handler needs to know the field is a float, and will handle the rounding options.
