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.

Crux vs. Kiss vs. Venom?
With Kiss, musl is used instead of glibc. That means you could have some troubles with some software. I have some troubles with a printer driver for example. I need to use an opensource version, but the driver is worse than the proprietary one. It works. I sometimes need libreoffice, but it's not packaged for kiss linux. To package it, it would be necessary to package a lot of dependencies. So it has not been done until now. If you really need glibc in Kiss, you can install a version with glibc in a chroot. There is a version with glibc instead musl. You could even install a version with glibc instead of musl. I think you can install some softwares with flatpak, for example libreoffice, but I have never done it. Someone else must confirm if it works.

If I don't update for a while, would I have some repository related issues?
Be ready to not be able to run proprietary sofware (Widevine, Nvidia, Games) due to KISS using musl. Unless you know how to use gkiss, prepare to not run an ide and learn vim.

My two cents about Void Musl
Although, there's nothing stopping you from using glibc with KISS Linux if you'd like -- I believe an example is GKISS if you'd like to take a further look.

KISS Linux?
The Kiss Linux repos are not outdated, just the "official" one, there is one that is actively maintained by the community. https://github.com/kiss-community/community.

So, I am thinking of installing kiss.
Yes. The init scripts are written so as to be as init-agnostic as possible. See here to see what has specifically been tested. You'll need to either change what owns /sbin/init or, when configuring the kernel, change what executable it spawns as PID 1. Depending on what init you use, you may have to set up a service manager or gettys manually like this -- custom scripts are placed in /etc/rc.d with self-explanatory suffixes .boot, .pre.shutdown, or .post.shutdown.

If you use the Official unofficial community repository, watch out for packages that might get dropped by maintainers.

Help a new guy out, how does chcpcd work?
Again, if you had bothered to read the sidebar you would have seen links to both the community site as well as the community github repo.

Any suckless OS?
Kiss linux is what you are searching for

Moving From Gentoo
This might not be exactly what you are looking for but KISS linux (https://k1sslinux.org) is a distribution that doesn't force ANY init on you, supports disk encryption ofc, it's probably the most light and minimal distribution out there (the core install has 7 packages), it's rolling release.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing grepo and community you can also consider the following projects:
