Too few recent issues to measure responsiveness.

• Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.
• Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.
• Issues are disabled, so response time is not measured.

Mostly organic, confidence high

Bursts

• 273 stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
• 3 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 14, 2026).

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

• Some star bursts have no matching forks, issues, releases, or launch coverage.
• Anyone can buy stars for any repo, so this describes the star history only.
• 273 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
