Thank you for sharing your anecdata. In my experience, the number of clones per month is much higher at first, and then decays gradually until it settles into a stable run-rate, so it's likely that you've had more than 100 x 12 x 5 clones over those five years -- i.e., between one and two orders of magnitude the number of stars, 300.

Another data point: icdiff is 13y old with 4k stars and 200 unique clones in the past month.
