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.

rustc-plugin: A framework for writing plugins that integrate with the Rust compiler
There is also https://github.com/trailofbits/dylint for writing custom lints.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (10/2023)!
Apart from clippy (which uses rustc-internal APIs), there are two other projects which can be used to implement lints: rust-analyzer can be extended with more diagnostics, and dylint provides an interface to run custom lints for Rust.

Programming Breakthroughs We Need
RE: Program is a model
There are some more advanced refactoring tools now available. These tools enable you to write code to detect bad code patterns and even automatically fix them. You can use them to write one-off transformations of code too. Rust has Dylint [1] and C# has Roslyn Analyzers [2]. Facebook has tooling [3] that helps writing CodeMods, enabling authors to generate changes for thousands of files at a time.
The thing I really would like to see is a smarter CI system. Caching of build outputs, so you don't have to rebuild the world from scratch every time. Distributed execution of tests and compilation, so you are not bottle-necked by one machine. Something that keeps track of which tests are flaky and which are broken on master, so you don't have to diagnose spurious build failures. Something that only runs the test that transitively depend on the code you change. Automatic bisecting of errors to the offending commit.

Rust code quality and vulnerability scan tool
If you're looking for something like clippy but with custom lints, there's also dylint -- it is clippy, but with support for running dynamically loaded lints across multiple versions of Rust.

Missing tooling in Rust?
You might find dylint useful! It's exactly that: a tool to run custom clippy lints.

Advisory: Miscompilation in cortex-m-rt 0.7.1 and 0.7.2
You might also want to add this to https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db so that cargo audit and Dependabot surface it.

"This type of secure-by-default functionality is why we love Go"
The behavior of not extracting outside the specified directory has been the default since forever in Rust's tar. And then it had two RUSTSEC advisories for not handling this correctly in certain corner cases. The latest one in 2021.

greater supply chain attack risk due to large dependency trees?
cargo-audit only checks for known issues reported to a vulnerability database.

`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
However, I keep getting this error when running cargo audit bin ~/.cargo/bin/*, even if I replace * with a specific binary: Fetching advisory database from `https://github.com/RustSec/advisory-db.git` Loaded 467 security advisories (from C:\Users\jonah\.cargo\advisory-db) Updating crates.io index error: I/O operation failed: The system cannot find the path specified.

MIA Github Assignee on very minor PR
I usually open an issue asking if the crate is still maintained. If there isn't a response for a decent amount of time (like multiple months) and the crate is somewhat popular then it could be worth opening an unmaintained advisory in the advisory-db

Here is the visualization of RustSec Advisory Database. I hope it will be helpful. If you need any more charts, feel free to comment.

Github Dependency graph adds vulnerability alerting support for Rust
FWIW the RustSec database is still not synced into the Github databse on a regular basis, even though they did an initial import of it. So the cargo audit github action is still relevant.
