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.
Bundler
-
current state of bundle install vs gem install -g
bundle install uses the bundle binary (technically a ruby script). The command runs the Bundler::Installer.run module. There are a lot more steps, particularly around dependencies. It ultimately calls Bundler::Installer::GemInstaller.

RubyGems has the most legal problems. Explanation?
On the license in 2011: Bundler, which most people use to generate gem scaffolding, added the MIT license as default in 2011. I bet you'll see a change around that time where older gems are more likely to have a different license (Apache 2.0 maybe?) and newer gems are more often MIT. I'd also guess older gems are more likely to be indirect dependencies since they're probably (?) more likely to implement lower level pieces which were since wrapped up, so this could explain that phenomenon too.

RubyGems now requires MFA for owners of top gems
If anyone is looking to do some open source contributions on a mature, production Ruby on Rails site, I highly recommend contributing to the rubygems.org project. The code is extremely clean and the repo is very, very well run.

Making popular Ruby packages more secure
RubyGems does have gem signing, but it's not widely used.
There's a proposal for a new "one button" approach using sigstore[0].
Other ecosystems are also looking at sigstore too, and a lot of us are cooperating in the OpenSSF Securing Software Repos WG [1]. Package signing is a regular topic of discussion and there are various efforts underway.
Disclosure: I am involved with both of these.
