Description

Hey all, @tlienart had the great suggestion of adding a "Star on GitHub" button to drive more stars (a typical metric to assess the use of a package across OSS) to our Julia packages. The example is given (which is very telling IMO) is that Documenter only has 294 stars but is very widely used across the ecosystem.
