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.

Git log is not a changelog
we use https://github.com/anchore/chronicle to generate release notes in a changelog format using the issues and PRs from GitHub as the source of truth. In this way time well spent in the curation of issues and PRs (which is something we need to do anyway) means that we automatically get release notes for free.

Keep a Changelog
The approach I like to take is to curate issues and PR with semantic titles and organize them by label ("bug", "enhancement", etc) or linking PRs to an already curated issue. This way automation can use these to generate the changlog for me on each release based on closed issues and unlinked PRs since the last release.
We wrote Chronicle to do that automation for us: https://github.com/anchore/chronicle .
The nice thing about this... since you typically curate issues during the development process anyway, if you're doing that right then you get a nice looking changlog for free! We use this approach with our core tools, Syft and Grype (some changlog examples: https://github.com/anchore/syft/releases/tag/v0.31.0 and https://github.com/anchore/grype/releases/tag/v0.26.1 ).
Always happy to hear new feature ideas and possible customizations for Chronicle (put in an issue and let's chat )!
