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.

Golang protocol implementation?
I can't vouch for it, but this looks worth checking out: https://github.com/signal-golang/textsecure

starting a native adaptive Linux client for Signal
So I think we need a native Linux client. I do not think Axolotl is a viable long term solution because it uses its own implementation of the Signal network protocol (written in Go). Reimplementing the cryptography and network protocol is a ton of work and will continue to be a ton of work as upstream adds more features. Axolotl has only just started reimplementing the new Signal groups protocol which was introduced 5 months ago. Also, the security of a reimplementation is dubious.

The status of Signal-Desktop-5.0.0 running on Pinephone made progress.
Sailfish applications use Qt's QML declarative language for their GUI. Sailfish has a proprietary QML library in addition to the QML elements included in Qt (Qt Quick). What we need to do is decouple Whisperfish's QML from the Sailfish QML library (which is called Silica). Fortunately PureMaps has already done the same thing and made a QML library that abstracts over the QML libraries of Sailfish, KDE (Kirigami), and Ubuntu Touch.

starting a native adaptive Linux client for Signal
There’s also this project to bring SailfishOS apps to other mobile Linux platforms https://gitlab.com/dylanvanassche/convergence-components that might be applicable here.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing textsecure and convergence-components you can also consider the following projects:
libsignal-protocol-go - A GoLang library for communicating using the Signal protocol
whisperfish
libsignal - Home to the Signal Protocol as well as other cryptographic primitives which make Signal possible.
anbox-playstore-installer - Install script that automates installation of googles playstore in anbox
mixxx - Mixxx is Free DJ software that gives you everything you need to perform live mixes.
axolotl - A Signal compatible cross plattform client written in Go, Rust and Vuejs
libsignal-service-rs - A Rust version of the libsignal-service-java library for communicating with Signal servers.
relm - Idiomatic, GTK+-based, GUI library, inspired by Elm, written in Rust
