At risk
At risk: no human commits in a year.
Why
- No human commits since July 2022. (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4)
- One person wrote 72% of human commits in the last year, and no human has committed in the last 90 days. (source 1, source 2)
- The fork AlexeyAB/darknet has taken over development, with commits this repository does not have. (source 1, source 2)
What would change this
- A release or merged commit from a maintainer.
- A human commit in the last 90 days, or a second person taking a large share of commits.
- The upstream repository resumes regular human commits.

- Apr 23, 2020 to Apr 30, 2020: about 299 more stars than usual, peak 82 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
- Mar 9, 2022 to Mar 9, 2022: about 57 more stars than usual, peak 62 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.
- The star history was reset at some point, so earlier stars aren't counted.
Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.
- The star history looks organic.
- The star history has a zero run of 26 weeks or more, so the analysis starts after it.
