I was looking at ksql and was shocked to see it had just 200 stars. After talking to some people familiar with the matter, I learned that the stars were likely lost some years ago through an event similar to this one.
I notice that in the web archive, ksql had close to 6k stars but around July 10 2024, it reset to zero.
It would be nice for the README to mention that this happened, so people don't get the wrong impression re: this project's popularity.
