Caution
Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.
Why
- One person wrote 96% 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.

Bursts
- Jul 13, 2023 to Aug 3, 2023: about 3k more stars than usual, peak 761 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a Hacker News post, a jump in issues and pull requests.
