This has a grandfathering problem when the maintainers switch. The new active branch of development is overshadowed by the previous branch. I've had someone takeover my project, but I still have 2 years of accumulated stars from when the project was fresh. The new development has less than 1/10 the number of stars as my branch. But I guess fixing this is kind corner case might be left for v2.
