How many total downloads would be nice as well. In RubyGems there are 
often similar packages and it can be hard to choose which to use. Example:

* bootstrap-will_paginate. 257 475 downloads

* will_paginate-bootstrap. 84 776 downloads

Obviously I'm going to choose the one with most downloads, if there are 
any critical differences.
