Why it ranks here

HomeGallery scores 36/100, #21 of 25 in Photo Galleries: 3 commits in the last 90 days earn 3.5 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, 1,209 stars add 12.3 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and Docker support adds the final 10. That places it in the stale band (below 40). The biggest shortfall is commit activity, worth 31.5 more points.
