Healthy

Healthy: actively maintained by 30 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.)
A dormant maintenance status, a deprecated or archived package, a successor link, or a critical advisory would change this.

875 stars on a repo created before February 2013 have no date, so they aren't in the chart.
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.
875 stars on the creation day are undated (before 2013-02-10) and are not counted.
