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.

Organizing photos in file hierarchy vs. 3rd party application
It sorts by file name and alphabet. My guess-filename and date2name generate date- and timestamps quite cleverly as long as your meta-data is not broken.

File organization help needed, need to match file names and move them to a folder.
If your set of rules are somewhat more general, you may check out https://github.com/novoid/guess-filename.py and https://gist.github.com/novoid/c4a239abc4027ecfd14e9904da88e6a1 (using this shell script via WSL)

Program that can automatically rename file based on multiple specification?
I've written https://github.com/novoid/guess-filename.py which you can take as a framework or template. Add your own renaming criteria and you're good to go. It uses the original file name for pattern matching and it can also scan the content of PDF files.

Describe how would the perfect data hoarding/curating software be for you?
I don't know if this is perfect but for me, this method with its tools is working pretty great since a decade or so: Managing Digital Files (e.g., Photographs) in Files and Folders using filetags (all sorts of things related to tags), guess-filename (generates most file names for me), guess-target-folder and move2archive (moving files to their destination) + some more tools I wrote.

Using MacOS - any programs/automations/tools out there that can clean up date formats in file names?
Hi, I plan to add this to https://github.com/novoid/date2name which is a command line tool. I have not found out how to integrate command line tools on macOS to the context menu of the finder in a sane way like this tool provides for Windows File Explorer and probably GNU/Linux geeqie in future. It would be peachy if somebody has input on that. (I don't have access to macOS.)

Folder and File Naming Convention – 10 Rules for Best Practice
Another thing I do see differently: I don't like version numbers since I prefer dates instead of numbers. There are different ways to use version numbers (one being proposed in the linked document). However, as the linked document also shows is that those versions are often accompanied with things like "draft" or "final" which introduces some kind of redundancy. I personally prefer date prefixes and filetags for "draft final submitted" for example. This is unambiguous so that version numbers do not add any value in my opinion.

File naming conventions for a startup
The same tagging method could be used for a general controlled vocabulary (CV) such as: bills, contracts, NDAs, and so forth. I'd also go with semantic tags like draft, submitted and final (or submitted) in combination with date-stamps instead of version numbers that are useless to humans most of the time.
