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.

Ten years of experience, still failing phone screens
Your post ought to be ample proof that subjective opinions (like the one you display here) are not solid grounds for hiring decisions.
When looking at this person's github repo, I -unlike you- see a vast number of trivial projects that can best be described as regurgitations of other people's projects. Even worse, if you actually look at his first pinned project (https://github.com/kevinburke/nacl), you'll see that it is nothing but a wrapper with trivial changes/updates.
TL;DR I see a lot of projects that can provide the illusion of competence but, when actually inspected, telling me not to hire this person.

Backstage: cryptographic R&D internship at Cossack Labs
Now, the real world work starts. We introduce interns to the world of popular cryptographic libraries, help them to make their first OSS contributions, and let them practice with our cryptographic library Themis which provides a high-level crypto API on 14 languages.
What are some alternatives?
bitwarden-go - A Bitwarden-compatible server written in Golang
DOMPurify - DOMPurify - a DOM-only, super-fast, uber-tolerant XSS sanitizer for HTML, MathML and SVG. DOMPurify works with a secure default, but offers a lot of configurability and hooks. Demo:
ACL - A simple but powerful Access Control List manager
tweetnacl-java - TweetNaCl in Java - a port of TweetNaCl-js
simple-scrypt - A convenience library for generating, comparing and inspecting password hashes using the scrypt KDF in Go 🔑
cryptography - cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers.
certmagic - Automatic HTTPS for any Go program: fully-managed TLS certificate issuance and renewal
snyk - Snyk CLI scans and monitors your projects for security vulnerabilities. [Moved to: https://github.com/snyk/cli]
Go random string generator - Flexible and customizable random string generator
NeDB - The JavaScript Database, for Node.js, nw.js, electron and the browser
goSecretBoxPassword - A probably paranoid Golang utility library for securely hashing and encrypting passwords based on the Dropbox method. This implementation uses Blake2b, Scrypt and XSalsa20-Poly1305 (via NaCl SecretBox) to create secure password hashes that are also encrypted using a master passphrase.
Paramiko - The leading native Python SSHv2 protocol library.
