I think stars are a better measure, because ranking by contribution rate is just selecting for big projects. It also purposely omits one author projects.

Agreed, quality over quantity. Plus there are plenty of excellent tools that aren't being actively developed but are still very popular.

Stars can also be gamed. As Zalatax mentioned in this thread, Resume requires you to star it before use.
