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.

Show HN: Vas-quod – A minimal Linux container runtime written in Rust
Nice work on this! If you cut out a bunch of the features supported by other containerization systems, the code gets quite short. My first one was in C and only a couple hundred lines. I worked on a full-featured rust container runtime while I was at Oracle. It is compatible with the oci-runtime spec, so can be used as a runtime for docker or kubernetes. The most up to date fork is at https://github.com/drahnr/railcar if you want to take a look at it for any ideas.

Podman: A Daemonless Container Engine
It is absolutely not correct that Larsson did the lion’s share. What he did was implement a Go wrapper for libdevmapper, which exposes a very low-level API. It is the Docker team that implemented devmapper-based container storage, as well as the whole storage plugin system which was now required to support more than one storage method. The original devmapper lib is utterly undocumented and Larsson’s wrapper did not fix that. So getting that feature to work was an all-consuming task and it is the Docker team that did the bulk of it.
You can see all this from the early history of the devmapper directory: https://github.com/alexlarsson/docker/commits/a14496ce891f1f...
