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.

Some context on David Lord's entry, he was our first attempt to pay a community member to contribute a PR and get paid for the contribution. Here's the PR we merged and paid him for: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/pull/2257

HTTP Calls in Python Without requests or Other External Dependencies
urllib3 is the dependency for many other tools, including requests. By itself, urllib3 is quite usable. It may be all you need.

Weird architectures weren't supported to begin with
Alright, let's do some digging...
On 2013-03-21, urllib3 added an optional dependency to pyopenssl for SNI support on python2 - https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/pull/156
On 2013-12-29, pyopenssl switched from opentls to cryptography - https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/commit/6037d073
On 2016-07-19, urllib3 started to depend on a new pyopenssl version that requires cryptography - https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/commit/c5f393ae3
On 2016-11-15, requests started to depend on a new urllib3 version that now indirectly requires cryptography - https://github.com/psf/requests/commit/99fa7bec
On 2018-01-30, portage started to enable the +rsync-verify USE flag by default, which relies on the gemato python library maintained by mgorny himself, and gemato depended on requests. So 5-6 levels of indirection at this point? I lost count.
On 2020-01-01, python2 was sunset. A painful year to remember, and a painful migration to forget. And just when the year was about to end...
On 2020-12-22, cryptography started to integrate rust in the build process, and all hell broke loose - https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/commit/c84d6ee0
Ultimately, I think mgorny only has himself to blame here, by injecting his own library into the critical path of gentoo, without carefully taking care of its direct and indirect dependencies. (But of course it is also fair game to blame it on the 2to3 migration)
In comparison, few months before this, the librsvg package went through a similar change where it started to depend on rust, and it was swift and painless without much drama - https://bugs.gentoo.org/739820 and https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:GNOME/3.36-notes
