Wow, this was exactly the issue and suggestion I was gonna write. Two thumbs up on this suggestion :)
We 'fixed' this by going back to the original style of readme which is clearer, easier to manage, easier to send PRs for.
The current layout isn't very good to read: the descriptions can get very long but they're competing for space with other 5 columns that are just empty most of the time. It looks bad and requires constant scrolling down even on big computer screens.
It should be easy to fix. My suggestion would be to have only 2 columns: description and details. Compare the readability of each method:
Current layout
Proposed layout
Commits: 854
LOC: 8K
Contributors: 13
Age: 3 year(s)
The first "name" column is redundant because the name and link are always the first thing to appear in each project's description as well. Having the headers "repeated" on each line of the table (on the second column) is also much more useful because when you're halfway across the list you can't even scroll up easily to remind yourself what each number means.
The overall readability, which is my biggest concern, is also greatly improved as can be seen on the example above - especially on smaller screens (such as mobile phones).
