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.

RFC 6920: Naming Things with Hashes
Interesting, I'd not known of this RFC before.
Another example of a content-addressed data store could be OCI registries (more commonly known as container image registries). Using them to store arbitrary artefacts is quite well supported now: https://oras.land/

Ocicl – An ASDF system distribution and management tool for Common Lisp
> ... but still only supports one niche operating system.
1. Linux is not a niche in the target market for this project.
2. The project is written in Common Lisp with hard dependencies on SBCL-provided libraries[1], so there's reason to suspect it should work on other OSes supported by SBCL.
3. Sure, the presence of Makefile and sb-posix imply it requires a POSIX compliant OS, but Linux is not the only one that fits the bill.
4. The included Linux-only binary 'oras' is clearly a vendored artifact, not part of this project, and clearly an OCI client. A simple search shows it is indeed cross-platform[2].
Perhaps you should try what almost every Linux user has had to do when encountering software actually built for only one "niche" operating system that they want to use on their OS: look.

Looking for an artifact store for generic assets, rather than specially-formatted packages or containers. Thinking maybe ORAS, but wondering if there are other options.
oras isn't that unpopular, Helm is using it as an SDK for example. Here are other projects who are using it. https://github.com/oras-project/oras/network/dependents

Ocicl – An ASDF system distribution and management tool for Common Lisp
Other options are:
- Quicklisp -really slick, libraries in there are curated. (with https support here: https://github.com/rudolfochrist/ql-https and here: https://github.com/snmsts/quicklisp-https.git)
- for project-local dependencies like virtualenv: https://github.com/fukamachi/qlot
- a new, more traditional one: https://www.clpm.dev (CLPM comes as a pre-built binary, supports HTTPS by default, supports installing multiple package versions, supports versioned systems, and more)
For recent Quicklisp upgrades: http://ultralisp.org/
Ocicl is very new (5 days) and tries a new approach, building "on tools from the world of containers".

quicklisp security (or total lack of it)
I use this on a system that has curl to safely bootstrap https://github.com/snmsts/quicklisp-https.git which then uses openssl via dexador so that I can drop the curl dependency. A bit of a dance to get everything up and running, but once it is done for a given system you are good to go.

Why do people use Quicklisp although it is known to be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks?
