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.)
A dormant maintenance status, a deprecated or archived package, a successor link, or a critical advisory would change this.

Organic, confidence medium

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

Bursts

Nov 17, 2023 to Nov 17, 2023: about 13 more stars than usual, peak 13 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
Sep 17, 2026 to Sep 18, 2026: about 19 more stars than usual, peak 14 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.

30 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
