Caution
Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.
Why
- One person wrote 94% 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 2 recent issues can be checked for a response, too few to measure response time.)

Stars
CompleteMostly organic, confidence medium
Bursts
- Apr 23, 2026 to May 1, 2026: about 436 more stars than usual, peak 333 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- May 11, 2026 to May 22, 2026: about 1.1k more stars than usual, peak 274 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- Jun 25, 2026 to Jun 29, 2026: about 326 more stars than usual, peak 189 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.
- Jul 2, 2026 to Jul 7, 2026: about 319 more stars than usual, peak 179 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.
- 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.
