GitHub Copilot offers free access to "maintainers of popular open source projects." The criteria for what constitutes a "popular" project seems somewhat open to interpretation, as GitHub hasn't given explicit guidelines. I'm curious about the community's experience: How many stars does your top-ranked open source project have, and were you granted free access to Copilot?

As for myself, one of my projects has 2.9k stars and another gets over a million weekly downloads on npm, yet neither qualified. I would personally consider both to be popular projects, so it piqued my interest about GitHub's own definition of popularity.
