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.

Stars
CompleteOrganic, confidence high
Bursts
- Mar 27, 2015 to Apr 10, 2015: about 237 more stars than usual, peak 39 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Mar 30, 2016 to Mar 31, 2016: about 27 more stars than usual, peak 19 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Oct 23, 2017 to Oct 28, 2017: about 521 more stars than usual, peak 211 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- Apr 18, 2019 to Apr 25, 2019: about 389 more stars than usual, peak 108 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Nov 3, 2019 to Nov 7, 2019: about 456 more stars than usual, peak 205 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Nov 23, 2021 to Nov 25, 2021: about 190 more stars than usual, peak 154 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- 1 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.
