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.

Rust Moderation Team Resigns
I have used Rust for years, but I never bothered to look into the governance structure.
How are team members selected? Who picks new team members? Who has authority to kick someone off a team?
I can't find anything online, except this very bare-bones WIP stub. [1]
This seems to be a glaring oversight, I really thought that there were proper procedures in place.
Especially now, with Rust becoming more and more popular, the foundation in place for almost a year, and corporate interest flooding into the project, I would have expected procedures to already be in place.
There certainly seem to be other cracks in the system. See for example "I refuse to let Amazon define Rust" by Steve Klabnik, discussed at length on HN. [2]

Non-code contributions are the secret to open source success
It's just as true today, though. When the Rust mod team resigned en masse in 2021, it was announced by a programmer (the author of ripgrep) [0], and the conflict was with the core team (also programmers). A supermajority of their contributors to open source projects are programmers, so most famous meltdowns are going to be conflicts between programmers, not between programmers and the tiny minority of non-technical contributors.
I'm still waiting for anyone to give an example of an open source project meltdown that was triggered by non-technical contributors.

Let's thank who have helped us in the Rust Community together!
You can also check rust-lang/team repo, where shows more than 400+ people have worked on the Rust Project as official members. And on thanks.rust-lang.org, it shows that 300+ people have been involved in each recent release. I believe the number of active contributors may be more than 100+.

JT: Why I left Rust
Right, but this type of drama isn't new in the community. A while back the whole mod team resigned because they were not able to hold the core team accountable. In fact I remember it being said that the Core Team placing themselves unaccountable to anyone but themselves. So I don't think I'm being dramatic at all here.

Can someone explain to me what's happening with the Rust foundation?
If that's too onerous, you can also look at the list of directors and observe that there are people titled "Project Director" who you can look up on https://github.com/rust-lang/team and observe that they have in fact been selected from the project teams.

Safety and Soundness in Rust
You're more than welcome to set the narrative straight. The infighting among Rust maintainers is based partially on your resignation note where you said the Core Team was "unaccountable" https://github.com/rust-lang/team/pull/671 and implied that they were untrustworthy. The same people that once went around starting language wars, like calling Zig a "massive step backward" for the industry https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32783244.
I'm just an outsider observer, who's been watching the sparks fly. It's been interesting as well to watch how quickly memories changes when positions are dangled. If there's ever an investigative report on the tribulations of Rust, they can also dig into the allegations of nepotism around one maintainer and his girlfriend on the project, vis-a-vis Amazon. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28633113.
