I will add a better metric than simply the stars this week end. Do you think of something you really want to have for a metric?

Thanks for following up; I'm not the perfect person to ask but it would make sense to allow all the metrics to be specified as sort criteria. Here are a few ideas:

  * number of forks
  * days since last commit
  * ratio of open to closed issues
  * days since commiter response to issue

Definitely copy the default / demo repo implemented by the OP too.
