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.

Changelog-Driven Releases
I don't really like writing the change log automatically from commits. I think those both have a slightly different audience and thus need different wording.
I know the frustration of merge conflicts on the change log file.
Right now, I'm creating change logs by hand which is time consuming to do on release time. I'm considering switching to using towncrier or something similar, where you have a changes dir with one file per change for creating change logs --> https://towncrier.readthedocs.io/

What are some examples of good release notes from open source projects that you have come across?
Here is an example of another decent one. Not perfect, but it is generated with TownCrier, so it is easy to maintain.

The Subtle Art of the Changelog
We used to... somewhat attempt manual changelogs. Every time it came to a release the release manager would ask around for what the key changes were, and we usually ended up with only a couple of entries.
Now, we use https://github.com/twisted/towncrier . Every change goes through pull requests, and every PR must have a newsfragment file - and we enforce this with a test that fails if it isn't present (with convenience functions of rewriting the number to match the PR if you name the news file XXX.{category}). If it's not a user-facing change, then we just have a category that is ignored.
On releases (or on individual PRS along the way), the release manager generates the changelog, but also edits them into a relatively coherent style (or rewrites developers news fragments along the way).
Every change has a note written aimed at the user. Every entry in the changelog has a link to the relevant PR or commit. We have much better changelogs now.

Node package managers (npm, yarn, pnpm) - All you need to know
npm automates the process of installing, updating, and managing dependencies, which helps to avoid "dependency hell." It supports semantic versioning (semver) that automatically handles patch and minor updates without breaking the existing code, thus maintaining stability across projects. npm also provides the capability to run scripts and commands defined in package.json, which can automate common tasks such as testing, building, and deployment.

Testing Our Tasks
The reason for this is that software libraries and package managers, in general, but specifically here, rely on semantic versioning. Semantic versioning is really useful for distributing packages in a predictable way. What does this look like for our project?
