P1 Stargazer History Starts Late

The new local stars chart is generated with --since 2017-07-01, so /stats/ will drop the 2016-to-mid-2017 stargazer history that the replacement is meant to preserve. The page now shows a truncated cumulative curve instead of the full project history from the first stars.

P2 Badge Avoid linking the chart to the restricted stargazers view

The replacement chart no longer depends on starchart, but this new click target is the same GitHub /stargazers UI view affected by the access restriction this change is trying to work around; GitHub's changelog says that repository stargazers views may return empty responses or 403s for non-admin/non-collaborator users. For those public visitors, clicking the chart still lands on a broken/restricted page, so link to the repository or the stats data instead.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
