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.)

Stars
CompleteMostly organic, confidence high
Bursts
- Mar 16, 2026 to Apr 19, 2026: about 14.6k more stars than usual, peak 2.2k in one day, a spike that tapers off. We couldn't check for an outside explanation.
- Apr 25, 2026 to May 21, 2026: about 71.7k more stars than usual, peak 7.1k in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Engagement is low for a repo this size (forks, watchers, issues, contributors).
- 39 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 13, 2026).
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- Forks, watchers, issues, and contributors are low for the number of stars.
- Anyone can buy stars for any repo, so this describes the star history only.
