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.

What Is a URL: Dangers of inconsistent parsing of URLs
I think it's also worth using special objects instead of strings when handling URLs. Don't try to build URLs with strings, don't try to parse URLs as strings, rely on code that does that well and represents the URL as a special, non-string object. For Python, I really like yarl.

Parsing URLs in Python
A great initiative!
We need a better URL parser in Scrapy, for similar reasons. Speed and WHATWG standard compliance (i.e. do the same as web browsers) are the main things.
It's possible to get closer to WHATWG behavior by using urllib and some hacks. This is what https://github.com/scrapy/w3lib does, which Scrapy currently uses. But it's still not quite compliant.
Also, surprisingly, on some crawls URL parsing can take CPU amounts similar to HTML parsing.
Ada / can_ada look very promising!
