Not a whole lot by itself. But certainly an indicator of quality/use that I'll use when evaluating options. # of stars, contributors, commits, branches, what the README looks like, check out the pulse on a weekly/monthly basis, contributions per person (is 99% of it written by 1-2 people). When were the last meaningful commits, is the build passing. Many other things go into evaluating a project when I'm considering taking it on as a dependency. But those are just a few I look at glancing at the repo for a minute or so. And of course, I compare all these metrics to the alternatives.
Edit: another couple I forgot was # of issues (and what those issues are ie. bugs vs feature requests), and types of PRs open
