The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Any nice patterns for releasing libraries?
For Bazel you can find a good example of this functionality in rules_js with the integration of pnpm workspaces and the npm_package rule (macro) which recently gained a .publish runnable target that will publish the package.

An ex-Googler's guide to dev tools
I also think it is partly as the tooling is not there yet - especially in the typical case when a project depends on lots of external dependencies.
I am looking forward to new set of bazel rules being worked on for eg. https://github.com/aspect-build/rules_js and https://github.com/jvolkman/rules_pycross which will makes it more idiomatic to work with existing language ecosystems.

Debian Git Monorepo
It's not only Windows that uses Git at Microsoft, but Sharepoint and Office (which includes the on-prem version of SharePoint). In terms of repo size Windows and Office are similar. I was part of the team that migrated Sharepoint from a Perforce clone to Git and helped build the tooling to allow Office to move as well. VFS for Git [1] and Scalar [2] are really good pieces of software.

Serving a Website from a Git Repo Without Cloning It
Congratulations! That means you basically figured out how the clone procedure works and found a way to do so just in a partial way (also in an unsafe way). But it is a cool idea, nonetheless.
Also check out the Scalar [1] project and its predecessor, GVFS [2], both from Microsoft to manage their monorepo via a VFS layer.

Software for managing config files
You mean like VFSforGit? Or the successor for that called Scalar? This has been a solved problem. Microsoft moved their entire Windows codebase to git. There have been a ton of huge improvements to performance as a result of that. And the above two plugins are easily better ways to deal with what you're referring to without resulting to dead tech.

WebKit Migrates from Subversion to GitHub
I was just looking at Microsoft's git VFS (https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit), which is deprecated and now points to Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), which is also deprecated? What's Microsoft's story with git now? Is there still a virtual file system involved?

Microsoft has/had a mono-repo based on the Git Virtual Filesystem, but future efforts have apparently moved towards the use of Scalar: https://github.com/microsoft/scalar

Improve Git monorepo performance with a file system monitor
This has been superceded by Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar) and again merged into Microsoft's fork of git (https://github.com/microsoft/git)
It supports neat stuff like partial clone which seems like a pretty big deal.

We Put Half a Million Files in One Git Repository, Here’s What We Learned
As mentioned in the blog "we are moving towards providing a known version of git", probably Microsoft Git which includes the scalar command but also upstreams many of the optimizations to git core https://github.com/microsoft/scalar#why-did-scalar-move
