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.

Kerla: Monolithic kernel in Rust, aiming for Linux ABI compatibility
I just meant that even big projects posted here in the past like the Headcrab debugger: https://github.com/headcrab-rs/headcrab have been seemingly abandoned now.
Even Rocket https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket seems to have greatly slowed development unfortunately.

Attach VSCode's debugger to debug Rust inside an Electron app
I remember an attempt at rust native debugging in the form of headcrab
-
what is the status of the debugger?
There was an [ambitious project headcrab](https://github.com/headcrab-rs/headcrab/issues/132), which unfortunately looks abandoned [last commit 2020/11].

Kerla: Monolithic kernel in Rust, aiming for Linux ABI compatibility
I think you're on the right track. I am similar to you and not so skilled at low level OS development. There is an educational OS called PIOS from Yale's CS department with specific goals in mind, but it boots from metal so the code is a great resource. Here's the code: https://github.com/bford/PIOS
Also, you could try reading the Plan 9 source code.
(I would say the code is what you're after now, but in case you are interested in more of the theory of why it's designed that way, you can check out the research paper here: https://dedis.cs.yale.edu/2010/det/)
