Don’t you have all these info on your GitHub homepage? While this project seems interesting for some people, I don’t get why would you want an email when someone stars your project. I’ve a project with 600+ stars, I’m glad I didn’t receive 600+ emails.

You do have all this in your timeline, but mine is really cluttered with all the notifications from my main job's organisation and it's easy to lose interesting stuff happening on my repos. About the email frequency, you can choose to only receive a daily or weekly report.

Thanks, the weekly report is a great thing!

Well, I don't :) If you have smaller projects it helps with the motivation to see that people are interested enough to star it, even if it are only 4.
