Too few recent issues to measure responsiveness.

• 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.
• Most commits in the last year come from bots.
• Only 0 recent issues can be checked for a response, too few to measure response time.

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

• Some star bursts have no matching forks, issues, releases, or launch coverage.
• Anyone can buy stars for any repo, so this describes the star history only.
• Star history from the full report of Oct 25, 2026; this update did not re-read it.
