Caution
Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.
Why
- One person wrote 70% of human commits in the last year, so the project depends on them continuing. (source 1, source 2)
What would change this
- A second person takes a substantial share of commits.
- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.)

- Engagement is low for a repo this size (forks, watchers, issues, contributors).
- 7 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 13, 2026).
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- Forks, watchers, issues, and contributors are low for the number of stars.
- Anyone can buy stars for any repo, so this describes the star history only.
