I'm with the other commenters on this issue. Stars are good enough as a marker, since you can use other markers (like # of contributors and recent commits) to make your own mind regarding quality of a repo.

Yesh, surely I can, but how about https://github.com/trending ?

It still uses "stars" are a sole marker, no? I don't think it's "good enough"?

Also tests, coverage and tests passing!
