What version of starlight are you using?

0.5.2

What is your idea?

The header of my docs site looks pretty sparse. I would like to add some glanceable information to it, like the latest release, GitHub stars etc., similar to this feature in the
Mkdocs/Material theme.

Why is this feature necessary?

The header is currently underutilised space. Top-level menus or custom widgets could make use of that space.

Do you have examples of this feature in other projects?
