ccan library https://github.com/rustyrussell/ccan I think it is used also in the linux kernel(?)

• stb

  164 25,008 6.7 C

  stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++

Sean Barrett's header only libs are great, and popular. It's a good display of how to do simple, effective, no frills APIs.

• node-raylib

  12 228 4.8 JavaScript

  Node.js bindings for Raylib

Raylib is also well liked and, IMO, well put together if you want to look at a very approachable framework kind of project.

• 2n

  2048 clone for the console, written in C

Probably not that good, but I'm kind of proud of my console clone of 2048.

• GNU Emacs

Emacs source should definitely be on the list :).

• SQLite

  39 5,441 0.0 C

  Official Git mirror of the SQLite source tree

The 10k lines of the main btree code at https://github.com/sqlite/sqlite/blob/master/src/btree.c for example are mostly comments and seem pretty reasonable to me considering the sophistication of the stuff there.
