Caution
Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.
Why
- One person wrote 100% 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.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.; Only 1 recent issues can be checked for a response, too few to measure response time.)

Responsiveness: of 1 recent issues, n/a got a maintainer reply. Median first response: n/a.
- 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.
- Only 1 recent issues can be checked for a response, too few to measure response time.

Stars
CompleteOrganic, confidence high
Bursts
- Aug 25, 2015 to Aug 26, 2015: about 23 more stars than usual, peak 18 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Dec 13, 2016 to Dec 16, 2016: about 105 more stars than usual, peak 66 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- The star history looks organic.
