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.

How to approach modifying source code programmatically?
While you can do this using ANTLR or any other lexing/parsing tool, it's honestly a bit of a pain. Whitespace and comments can go almost anywhere, even in the middle of expressions, so the grammar ends up becoming fairly messy. So, I'd recommend using a library that handles this for you, if at all possible. For example, if I wanted to code-mod Python I'd prob just use the LibCST library.

How to handle line endings when writing files depending on OS?
I've been roughly copying some of the logic from the LibCST project. This struct in particular- https://github.com/Instagram/LibCST/blob/main/native/libcst/src/tokenizer/text_position/char_width.rs does a good job of normalizing the line endings of a str. The long way around you could mimic this construct, transform the str to normalized line endings, and then split on "\n" or make a somewhat more complicated transformer which turns a large str into a Vec (or Vec).

We're the core team behind the popular Python autoformatter: Black. AMA!
I myself am working on upgrading LibCST's parser engine to support the new syntax, and then am hoping we can rewrite Black's formatting rules in terms of LibCST's API. That's not a small amount of work, which is why we can't confidently say that's going to be the way forward.

Never used it but it appears that Facebook/Instagram have a format preserving CST library for Python: https://github.com/Instagram/LibCST

Our Engineering Team Used Python's AST to Patch 100,000s of Lines of Code
I had a problem of applying patches to the files that got indented differently meantime.
So I wrote a tool that takes a context diff, rebuilds the before and after text, then parses both as vectors of (leading whitespaces, token), then creates a diff of those vectors ignoring the whitespaces, parses the target file as a similar vector, and applies this diff to such a vector (again with ignoring/copying whitespaces) - after which it reconstructs the text.
The results are surprisingly robust, despite the relatively naive tokenization heuristic.
