Sure, the search results on GitHub may not be the most reliable statistics, but it's the only one I know of, except perhaps for the [5000 crates analysis](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/i-analysed-5000-crates-to-find-the-most-common-standard-library-imports/12218) which had [856 FromStr imports](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1p0bh_HL8zfH6JnP3KHPgQEzepH5tVwhU0wfe9S_gpak/edit#gid=178729738&range=A16), which is quite a lot in my opinion.

Although it is unclear to me whether it includes unchanged forks. As far as I know it doesn't.
