If being highly vetted is your main heuristic for safety, then isn't popularity (large number of github stars) directly correlated with that?

popularity does not correspond to vetting (see the recent parity multisig vulnerability), and highly reviewed software is not necessarily popular (how many people know about libsecp256k1?).
