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.

We use Dependabot to secure GitHub
> That would be nice. It could even run on top of the GH Actions infrastructure now.
https://github.com/thepwagner/action-update being an example of this (and showing go, docker)
> it seems like part of the overhead in maintaining dependabot is that there is ruby code reimplementing yarn logic
The entire maintenance burden of dependabot is "reimplement logic that package managers already do to determine the update strategy." Using package managers functionality for this would indeed make this a lot easier, though even then package manager support for specific things might not be universal.
That said, it's possibly easier to go to the package manager and say "we'd like to implement/for you to implement feature X that will enable Dependabot as well as the underlying functionality Dependabot was missing, that your users probably already want" than the opposite problem of people asking Dependabot to write a bunch of ruby to re-implement something that already exists.

Why I recommend Renovate over any other dependency update tools
Oh yes, https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/3253. I wouldn't go so far as saying it was locked because it was too uncivil, mostly just because "additional commentary wasn't adding value" ;)
Your read on the situation is spot on, and no, it doesn't look like it's been "fixed" (mostly because "fixing it would re-introduce the same potential vulnerability).

Storybook 8
Storybook is great and all, but these days nearly every Dependabot alert I get is about a sub-dependency of Storybook. Since Dependabot doesn't currently allow you to ignore dev dependencies and only check production dependencies [0], this makes Storybook a Big Noise Generator and every time I dismiss another alert from it, I can't help but wonder if there's a better option out there.

Keeping dependencies in your GitHub projects up-to-date with Dependabot
P.S. While this being a powerful and handy tool itself, it is only a part of Dependabot’s capabilities. If you are interested, you’ll find more about them in the GitHub docs.

How to Manage Helm Chart Dependency Versions?
Hello! I'm using Helm in K8s and curious if there is a solution that could keep tabs on the deployed chart dependency versions and either alert us when something is out of date or when a new release is available. Does this exist? I was thinking something like Dependabot or Renovate, but neither seems to be able to manage this.

Introducing Bld: A New Pure Java Build System
An important point is that this kind of metadata often needs to be accessible from outside the build system itself. You need that for example in order to integration with renovate-bot or github's dependabot, to check your dependencies against CVEs, to build SBOMs and various other additional tasks that are not part of the build itself, but related to the build's metadata. This is all functionality I don't want to reimplement, I want to use what's already out there. And for that the build system needs to have some minimum amount of compatibility with existing standard metadata files like pom.xml or build.gradle

OpenAI, MinIO, And Why You Should Always Use docker-cli-scan To Keep Your Supply chAIn Clean
To avoid any potential data breaches, it is recommended that users upgrade to a patched version of MinIO (RELEASE.2023-03-20T20-16-18Z) and integrate security tooling such as docker-cli-scan or use Github’s built-in monitoring for supply chain vulnerabilities, which already contains a record referencing this vulnerability.

OCI Helm chat repo with common apps
I recognize that it does not handle chart updates, but it's might still ease the burden of applying minor releases easily etc. For the chart versions themselves, unfortunately dependabot does not support this and will not, but something like renovatebot does. Could be worth looking into as a dual approach

Private profiles are now generally available on GitHub
Disclosure: Renovate author
Renovate is indeed AGPL, but if you're just running it as a CLI, do you think there's anything to "watch out for"? It does not make any project you run it against AGPL, that's for sure.
Also you should be aware that dependabot-core, which dependabot-gitlab wraps, is not technically Open Source at all: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/main/LICE...
