Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There's no problem this solves, it's a gimmick that's perhaps cool.

Describe the solution you'd like

https://star-history.com/ provides a chart of how many stars a GitHub project has. See here for OC. We could embed this image somewhere in the Readme or in the docs:

Describe alternatives you've considered

We could instead or also use GitHub Readme Stats (though that seems only for individual profiles, not repos) or GitHub Stats (see OC stats here).

I'm working on a PR for this.

I would prefer a different page or doc page that is dedicated to marketing arguments with other CMSes and features, or number of contributors. And maybe a less ugly chart.

The https://star-history.com/ service is the only one I see that generates such a chart in a simple to use way, and the design there is given. We could use something like https://github.com/caarlos0/starcharts to generate it in a GHA workflow, but I really don't think this should be anything complicated. After all, it's a largely a gimmick (and to a smaller extent also a useful indicator of the growth of the community to us maintainers).
