Yes. Owners go through the same checks as everyone else, and their Likes count the same as anyone's: once. See Submitting a Repo.
The bot's comment lists every reason. Look each one up on the Quality Bar, fix what you can, then open a new submission. Editing the old issue doesn't re-run the checks. Rejected submissions count toward the limit of 3 a week, so it's worth fixing everything before you try again.
Because stars measure attention, often from years ago, not whether a repo is any good today. Plenty of excellent tools have a few hundred. The Quality Bar checks for a license, a README, recent activity and signs the project expects users instead.
The bot can only accept licenses it can read. A reworded or custom license text is the usual cause. Replace it with the unmodified text from choosealicense.com, saved as LICENSE in the root. The step-by-step fix is on the Quality Bar page.
Not yet. Repos need to be at least 30 days old. Mark the date and come back, since an early try still counts toward your 3 a week.
The count updates once an hour, so give it time. If it still hasn't moved, your account may be under 30 days old, or have no public repos and no contributions in the last year. Why some Likes don't count covers every case.
No. Only a 👍 on the entry's Discussion counts. Stars only break ties between entries with the same number of Likes.
Yes, once, like everyone else. Nobody's Like counts for more.
A sudden spike of Likes from accounts only a few months old gets the entry flagged, held out of Trending and sent to me for review. Sock puppets that turn up in a review stop counting everywhere. See How I stop Like-gaming.
Fix what the warning said, which for a quiet year means a single push. At the next weekly health check it comes back on its own, with its Likes. There's no need to resubmit. See Removal Policy.
No. The bot follows the repo by its GitHub ID at the next weekly check, renames the entry and its Discussion, and the Likes stay put. See Renames and transfers.
Open a report with the reason "Something else", say you're the owner, and I'll take it off.
Mostly the rules on these pages, applied by the bot. I review anything the bot can't decide, the reports that make it through the bot's first pass, and every flagged burst of Likes. GOVERNANCE.md has the detail.
Not for now. DevStream only lists public GitHub repos, because Likes, checks and reports all run on GitHub.
Yes. Everything in the repo, data/entries.json included, is CC0. Copy it, fork it, no credit needed.
Post it in Ideas. The Roadmap shows what's already planned.
