One of the problems I see with stars on github is the extreme hype around new JS frameworks, which is especially noticable in GitTrends. These projects are indeed trendy, but when you try to choose a tool / technology stars become problematic. I'm not saying that the metric I propose is more "objective" in any sense, but in my subjective opinion it promotes better values for open source projects.
Moreover, please don't think that I only count commits and see the about page (http://www.krihelinator.xyz/about http://www.krihelinator.xyz/about) for more details about the metric.
