Hypothetically speaking, as I don't want to put that much effort and
I'd rather let it run as-is:
As we stand, there aren't so many items. The list of them can be
fetched all at once, and filtered/searched client-side, if we need
that.
Top 10 is, obviously, not doable. However, I missed that it's based on
an access metric; I thought it was simply the 'last 10'.
Interestingly, we have plenty of pages that are making outgoing
requests and failing; for instance, the number 1 on top 10:
http://www.gnustep.org/softwareindex/showdetail.php?app=61
Should we rethink the index?

Because this situation relegates the "main site" to a secondary URL,
permanently. I've done that before and I regret it. And it prevents us
from even attempting to preserve location of other URLs which would be
completely fine as static pages. (Search engines will eventually index
gnustep.github.io as the sole main site. But right now it's not even
on the first page of results on three major search engines I tested
on.)
