The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Override a transitive dependency's version
I recommend watching this issue. Not much has happened recently, but I think there's a chance we'll get a maintained ed25519 crate at some point, and when that happens you'll probably hear about it there first :)

Looking for good (low level?) Elliptic Curve library
You can check the RustCrypto project. I think (but am not sure) that it is one of the more mature crypto libraries.

Looking for good (low level?) Elliptic Curve library
Much of what you'll find highly visibly will be high-level libraries, but look at their dependencies. For example, from the ed25519 library you may find ed25519-dalek, and from there you could find curve25519-dalek which deals in point encodings and that like. (I don't know these particular libraries; they might help or just serve as an example of a viable exploration path).

Identity element in ECC
What lib are you using? I would probably suggest to use the Ristretto Group abstraction for safety. The curve25519-dalek crate has that.

How mathematically intense can theoretical cryptography get?
Grabbing an abstraction like the Ristretto Group with implementations available curve25519-dalek, can get you very far. You can build stuff like ECIES, Diffie-Hellman, Schnorr Signatures, Aggregated Signatures, etc, without requiring entering the details of EC math.
