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.; Only 3 recent issues can be checked for a response, too few to measure response time.)

Maintenance

Partial

Slowing

Human commits, 30 days: 55
Human commits, 90 days: 136
Human commits, 365 days: 1.5k
Bot share of commits, 365 days: 0%
Last commit: Oct 13, 2026 (1 day ago)
Last human commit: Oct 13, 2026 (1 day ago)
Authors, 90 days: 1
Last release: Oct 13, 2026 (2 days ago)
Median PR merge time: under an hour

Responsiveness: of 3 recent issues, n/a got a maintainer reply. Median first response: n/a.

Stars

Mostly organic, confidence high

Bars show stars gained each week. Orange bars overlap a burst.

Bursts

Feb 20, 2022 to Mar 23, 2022: about 2.9k more stars than usual, peak 385 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
May 9, 2022 to May 16, 2022: about 135 more stars than usual, peak 38 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
Aug 24, 2022 to Aug 26, 2022: about 58 more stars than usual, peak 39 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
Jan 27, 2023 to Feb 3, 2023: about 252 more stars than usual, peak 72 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
Aug 15, 2026 to Aug 25, 2026: about 232 more stars than usual, peak 54 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.

2 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.
