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.

Run0 – systemd based alternative to sudo announced
There is also a write of sudo in Rust, which works more akin to the traditional sudo but memory-safe and with fewer bugs: https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/sudo-first-stable-release/
Source code: https://github.com/memorysafety/sudo-rs
And if you are running Debian 13 (trixie) or later, or Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) or later, you can already install it using `apt install sudo-rs`.

It uses the setuid flag, just like sudo. The readme says

sidenote: why there is no python like syntax language TLA+ and ability to generate a partial implementation you could hook into (complete) from that model.

Testing the memory safe Rust implementation of Sudo/Su
I'm not sure, I only see static analysis and fuzzing workflows in the CI on GitHub [1].
