Caution: one person wrote most of the recent commits.
Why
- One person wrote 74% 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.

Stars
CompleteOrganic, confidence medium
Bursts
- Nov 5, 2019 to Nov 6, 2019: about 47 more stars than usual, peak 37 in one day, a spike that tapers off. We couldn't check for an outside explanation.
- Aug 20, 2020 to Aug 21, 2020: about 25 more stars than usual, peak 14 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- Sep 2, 2021 to Sep 5, 2021: about 62 more stars than usual, peak 36 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Jan 1, 2022 to Jan 1, 2022: about 36 more stars than usual, peak 37 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- The star history looks organic.
