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.

OpenTelemetry in 2023
Yes, I really agree, and I've gone through the same pain, but try using the alternatives that claim to be better because they have OpenAPI specifications [1]
The example shows you how to use the swagger tool, parse the OpenAPI spec [2], auto-generate GoLang glue code, call __one__ of those auto-generated functions and log a trace.
However, there is zero documentation, zero other examples, and I'm left scratching my head whether there's even one person in the world using this approach. I eventually ended up just directly using the service APIs [3] via REST calls.
OTEL is painful, but the alternatives are no better :( I really wish there's some interest in this space, since SLO's and SLI measurements are becoming increasingly important.

OpenTelemetry in 2023
Oh nice, thank you (and also solumos) for the links! It looks like oteps/pull/171 (merged June 2023) expanded and superseded the opentelemetry-proto/pull/346 PR (closed Jul 2022) [0]. The former resulted in merging OpenTelemetry Enhancement Proposal 156 [1], with some interesting results especially for 'Phase 2' where they implemented columnar storage end-to-end (see the Validation section [2]):
* For univariate time series, OTel Arrow is 2 to 2.5 better in terms of bandwidth reduction ... and the end-to-end speed is 3.1 to 11.2 times faster
* For multivariate time series, OTel Arrow is 3 to 7 times better in terms of bandwidth reduction ... Phase 2 has [not yet] been .. estimated but similar results are expected.
* For logs, OTel Arrow is 1.6 to 2 times better in terms of bandwidth reduction ... and the end-to-end speed is 2.3 to 4.86 times faster
* For traces, OTel Arrow is 1.7 to 2.8 times better in terms of bandwidth reduction ... and the end-to-end speed is 3.37 to 6.16 times faster

Grafana Phlare, open source database for continuous profiling at scale
https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/issues/139
It takes a lot of time and effort to bake a cross-vendor cross-language standard.

Faster Protocol Buffers
This. The statelessness of the OTLP is by design. I did consider stateful designs with e.g. shared state dictionary compression but eventually chose not to, so that the intermediaries can remain stateless.
An extension to OTLP that uses shared state (and columnar encoding) to achieve more compact representation and is suitable for the last network leg in the data delivery path has been proposed and may become a reality in the future: https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/pull/171
