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.

NPM repository flooded with 15,000 phishing packages
If you don't know the author, signatures do nothing. Anybody can sign their package with some key. Even if you could check the author's identity, that still does very little for you, unless you know them personally.
It makes a lot more sense to use cryptography to verify that releases are not malicious directly. Tools like crev [1], vouch [2], and cargo-vet [3] allow you to trust your colleagues or specific people to review packages before you install them. That way you don't have to trust their authors or package repositories at all.
That seems like a much more viable path forward than expecting package repositories to audit packages or trying to assign trust onto random developers.

Vetting the Cargo
Alternatives to cargo-vet that has been mentioned before here on HN:

Anyone know of any more alternatives or similar tools already available?

Embedded malware in RC (NPM package)
I've created Vouch in an attempt to address this problem:
https://github.com/vouch-dev/vouch
Vouch lets users create and share reviews for NPM packages. Project dependencies can then be checked against those reviews.
Vouch uses extensions to interface with package ecosystems. It's simple to create a new extension. Extensions currently exist for NPM, PyPi, and Ansible Galaxy.
I'm currently working on a website to index known reviews and publish official reviews.
I hope you guys find it useful! Drop by the Matrix channel if you have any feedback to share: #vouch:matrix.org

Gittuf – a security layer for Git using some concepts introduced by TUF
> does it also filter/escape ANSI Sequences in messages and author names?
Not at present! Do you have a link or so I could use to familiarize myself? I'm curious if it'd fall within gittuf's scope.
> does it block garbage collection?
Nope, it doesn't. That said, the repository will have more objects, gittuf tracks additional objects through custom refs in `refs/gittuf/`.
> how do you ensure that the developers are really the developers and there's no spoofing?
At present, gittuf policies use signing keys. It doesn't rely on the commit metadata for author and committer but rather the commit's signature. We support GPG and Sigstore's gitsign [0] right now, and we want to support other signing mechanisms like SSH keys as well.

Enable Gitsign Today and Start Signing your Commits
Gitsign offers a keyless commit signing implementation based on OIDC, which is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 framework. Gitsign supports verifying your identity either through GitHub, Microsoft, or a Google account.

SSH commit verification now supported
Shameless plug for the gitsign project in sigstore: https://github.com/sigstore/gitsign
This isn't supported by GitHub yet but we're hopefully working towards that too.

We used to actually run an RFC3161 timestamp server in addition to the transparency log but recently turned it down because no one was using it. I'd like to bring it back for stuff like this.
