Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

UPDATED -- Review Request - ESP32-based board monitoring 24VAC w/ I2C, 1wire
My CICD is done with KiBot - https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/KiBot and my pipeline templates are https://github.com/gcormier/kicad-jobs
-
Kicad Vault - A Component Management System
Not exactly the same you suggested, but many of those points are already covered by KiBot. You might want to take a look at it: Kibot

KiCad Project Makefile
One of the features that peaked my interest with the release of 7.0 was kicad-cli. I've wanted a built in tool for CI/CD for a while. I know there is Kibot but to be honest, I found the base configuration a little overwhelming and also struggled to get it running locally on a macOS setup - without tainting system Python.

KiCad Version 7.0.0 Released
KiBot [0] is super handy for this, the documentation has an explicit section on CI/CD usage.
It's a bit clunky (not KiBots fault at all, it has to basically script drive the GUI to achieve some functionality which has now been added to the kicad cli) so hopefully going forward CI/CD with KiCad will be even easier!

The tooling ecosystem that adds joy to KiCad
I'm using KiBot for this, see pcb_replace/sch_replace options here: https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/KiBot#supported-preflight-optio...
- KiBot release - now supports KiCad v6!
- Fritzing is an open-source electronic design too
-
KiCad 6.0.0
I've been bitten by the DRC before, but KiBot[0] renders that moot. I have it running as a pre-commit hook, and it generates my Gerbers and everything. That way, all this stuff is automated and I can't make a mistake.
Check out my project's config:
