Order: most downloads first, then name, with unmeasured values last. A library counts downloads over 30 days. An app counts binary downloads per release. An app with none counts its crate downloads over 30 days.

What do the tiers mean?
Featured
Shown first. It passes every Featured gate.
Listed
Shown in the normal listing. No other tier applies.
New
A project whose first release is recent.
Archived
No longer maintained, or ended by its author.

Tiers come from published rules over raw signals. Stars alone never qualify a project.

Active dependents: crates from other owners that depend on this project in a current release. One owner counts at most once.

Movement needs more history.
