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.

Turmoil, a framework for developing and testing distributed systems
Cool, will be interested to see how this develops! tokio's loom framework has been a big help in testing some tricky concurrency code I've worked on.
Folks interested in this space might also be interested in the system I spend most of my time working on: Shadow. It also performs deterministic simulation of a network of hosts, but it intercepts network and system interactions at the syscall level via seccomp. As such it can work with binaries compiled from ~any language, usually without any code modification or special compilation. https://shadow.github.io/

I reinvented another wheel, linux threads.
Nice writeup! I've also had to dig a bit into this area in my work on shadow.

How to avoid bounds checks in Rust (without unsafe!)
I do share this hesitation. I think for simple cases iterators are usually fine, but I've definitely run into cases where an iterator adapter caused unexpected performance problems. e.g. https://github.com/shadow/shadow/pull/2543

Sending signals to Unix process groups
Yes. Though I'm not sure I see the connection to the OP...?
The example I'm most familiar with, because I work on it, is Shadow. We used ptrace for a bit but now use seccomp.

Shadow Simlulator – run real applications over a simulated Internet topology
For anyone interested in following current development on Shadow, we've been publishing a series of updates. Most recent: https://github.com/shadow/shadow/discussions/1274
The previous update has links back to the whole series; I stopped including it in the most-recent update since it was getting a bit cumbersome: https://github.com/shadow/shadow/discussions/1060

Testing Distributed Systems
They have their own solutions for these problems as well, see e.g. https://github.com/testground/testground, which comes from the IPFS/Filecoin folks to coordinate distributed state, network traffic shaping, etc. for testing distributed systems.
