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.

PSA: You can't build GCC 11 with mold
Well, indeed, i certainly wasn't expecting you to do so! But i already have more than enough volunteer FOSS stuff on my plate as it is (e.g. Ebuku, pulseaudio-control, s6-man-pages, execline-man-pages and guides, amongst various other things), and not using mold with gcc 11 is no problem for me at this point. So i've just noted the issue with the patch on the wiki page, and the patch will have to be updated by someone for whom it's more important.

Stuck in grub
Finally, as someone who has put, and continues to put, a lot of volunteer effort into providing quality documentation (e.g. my work thus far on the Gentoo wiki, my work on the Void docs, my work porting the documentation for the s6 ecosystem), i can tell you it's frustrating and discouraging to put in all this work to provide helpful documentation to others - rather than having to write the same things in discussion threads again and again - and to continually improve it, only for people to ignore it in favour of some random (and often inaccurate) tutorial. So personally, i'm fine with the fact that, since the OP's question quickly got succinctly answered, people here subsequently wanted to (non-condescendingly) make sure the OP primarily used the Handbook.

FYI: grex.org dies on 2023 APR 15
Ultimately, my perspective is "let's try out a plethora of different approaches, and learn from experience what does and doesn't work in which situations". So i'd be all for a 'MiniHTML' effort (even if i don't end up getting involved myself), which i've seen many people suggest - but there doesn't seem to be any such effort that has gained momentum. Partly, i suspect, because of the common ICT phenomenon of "I want this, but someone else will have to work out the implementation details" (where the devils are). One personal example of this is of lots of people demanding man page versions of the s6 documentation, and lots of people talking about how this could be done, but no-one actually rolling up their sleeves - until i just got the bit between the teeth and did the work.

some questions about s6: user services, man pages, hang up on shutdown
About the man pages issue, Laurent Bercot (the creator of s6) already mentioned why he does not include man pages with s6 (here)[https://skarnet.org/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?2:mss:2583:202008:liednclklokjhnokhdhg]. You can find s6 man pages (here)[https://github.com/flexibeast/s6-man-pages] (those are made by flexibeast, using the online s6 documentation).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing execline-man-pages and s6-man-pages you can also consider the following projects:
ebuku - Emacs interface to the buku Web bookmark manager.
void-docs - mdbook source for docs.voidlinux.org
guides - A collection of ICT guides that people might find helpful.
pulseaudio-control - Control PulseAudio volumes from Emacs, via `pactl`.
