Healthy: actively maintained by 116 people, no known risks.
Why
No rule fired.
What would change this
- 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.; Issues are disabled, so response time is not measured.)
- A dormant maintenance status, a deprecated or archived package, a successor link, or a critical advisory would change this.

Too few recent issues to measure responsiveness.

- Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.
- Issues are disabled, so response time is not measured.

Stars
CompleteOrganic, confidence high
Bursts
- Jul 19, 2019 to Jul 20, 2019: about 64 more stars than usual, peak 63 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- Aug 2, 2026 to Aug 2, 2026: about 71 more stars than usual, peak 79 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- 144 stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
- 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.
- The star history looks organic.
- 144 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
