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.

Mirage – A programming framework for building type-safe, modular systems
The rough Rust of this is https://github.com/hermit-os/hermit-rs
Though last I looked it wasn't nearly as mature as MirageOS.

Fomos: Experimental OS, Built with Rust
This seems to match the definition of a unikernel. Here is another one in Rust: https://github.com/hermit-os/hermit-rs

Fomos: Experimental OS, Built with Rust
Theseus OS (https://www.theseus-os.com/) is also an OS written in Rust. It's a safe-language OS and I believe it's the future of the OSes due to its unique features.

Asynchronous Rust on Cortex-M Microcontrollers
I believe that Tock (tockos.org) and Theseus (https://github.com/theseus-os/Theseus) are in this area a bit as well, just from an actual OS perspective.
I don't know much about this area, but it would be wonderful if these could work with the Libre compute boards, like the AM Logic S905X (Lepotato) or the Rock chip, since they're so much cheaper than a Pi.

I am looking for a troubled/bad open source codebase
We could use some help here: https://github.com/theseus-os/Theseus

Making a RISC-V Operating System Using Rust
Relevant, also an OS written in and made possible by Rust: https://www.theseus-os.com/
I think Theseus is to conventional OSes what Rust is to JavaScript.
- Linux kernel use-after-free in Netfilter, local privilege escalation

Microsoft is busy rewriting core Windows library code in memory-safe Rust
I wonder if somehow someday Microsoft Windows can be rerooted as something like wine running in user space of a rust os like https://github.com/theseus-os/Theseus

Need help for porting my kernel to different architectures.
We've been working on porting Theseus OS to aarch64 over the past few months, feel free to browse our code if you need help understanding anything. Theseus is written from scratch entirely in Rust, so it's likely quite relevant to your work. You can probably find all of the aarch64-related commits and issues just by searching "aarch64" on the repo.

Exploiting null-dereferences in the Linux kernel
I mean, there are several rust kernel/os projects in progress.
One project that's pushing on the boundary of safety and composability is Thesus, which takes language safety to new ground by shifting traditionally OS-level responsibilities like resource management all the way down to typechecks in the language, and also explores a way of updating any core OS component on a live running system. https://github.com/theseus-os/Theseus
There's also KataOS which google just recently announced: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/10/announcing-kataos-...
As you note, these things take time, I agree with sibling that none of them are likely to be "enterprise-grade" or "production ready" this decade.
