A casual note: featured.py should have a "spam" filter! As some Wikipedia communities do create many thousands of articles by bots, it is possible that some communities could abuse that marking stars, declaring almost all of their articles as featured. If a small Wikipedia has even more featured articles as enwiki, this could be an indicator for that, for example.
