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 are some things that could mount swap that isn't /etc/fstab?
I found a github issue here that seemed to explain things.

Why does compiling packages in zram work, but not the Linux kernel?
Also, sys-block/zram-init::gentoo Scripts to support compressed swap devices or ramdisks with zRAM (https://github.com/vaeth/zram-init/)

Does Gentoo support zswap (openrc) as seen on fedora 33? I cannot find any explicit guidance in the handbook. Iām looking for disk backed zsawp not swap in zram. Is this only achievable with systemd?
IIRC zswap is zram used for swap, so as long as your kernel has zram support, you can use zswap. You can use zram with zramctl from util-linux. However, there is also the sys-block/zram-init package: it's a wrapper around zramctl which offers an openrc script to automatically create zram devices at boot. It also provides configuration for zswap. Configuration is in /etc/conf.d/zram-init.

So, I am thinking of installing kiss.
Yes. The init scripts are written so as to be as init-agnostic as possible. See here to see what has specifically been tested. You'll need to either change what owns /sbin/init or, when configuring the kernel, change what executable it spawns as PID 1. Depending on what init you use, you may have to set up a service manager or gettys manually like this -- custom scripts are placed in /etc/rc.d with self-explanatory suffixes .boot, .pre.shutdown, or .post.shutdown.

Can i use Kiss normally without eudev and only mdev
See lines 35-50 for what udev and mdev do during boot.
What are some alternatives?
log2ram - ramlog like for systemd (Put log into a ram folder)
dinit - Service monitoring / "init" system
ramroot - Load root file system to ram during boot.
s6 - The s6 supervision suite.
gentoo_unattented-setup - Automated modular GENTOO linux setup
InitWare - The InitWare Suite of Middleware allows you to manage services and system resources as logical entities called units. Its main component is a service management ("init") system.
portage-bashrc-mv - Provide support for /etc/portage/bashrc.d and /etc/portage/package.cflags for the portage package manager (Gentoo Linux)
initscripts - š Scripts to bring up network interfaces and legacy utilities in Fedora.
hmg - Personal Gentoo/Linux configurations
InitKit - Neo-InitWare is a modular, cross-platform reimplementation of the systemd init system. It is experimental.
auto-zram - Automatically configure zram as swap on a machine, using sensible defaults, with the ability to tweak it to your needs.
