Metrics are silly. Evaluate what you actually care about. Run the software and check if the features you care about when as you expect. Do a trivial implementation in the environment you want. There's no single common indicator that will replace that. If a project with no stars, no contributions for the last decade and no forks solves the exact use case your have in mind - are you going to skip it?
