Caution

Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.

Why

One person wrote 82% 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.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)

Organic, confidence high

Bars show stars gained each week. Orange bars overlap a burst.

Bursts

Dec 15, 2025 to Dec 16, 2025: about 26 more stars than usual, peak 21 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
Jan 26, 2026 to Feb 5, 2026: about 520 more stars than usual, peak 119 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
May 9, 2026 to May 18, 2026: about 1k more stars than usual, peak 168 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.

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.
