    Thank you for this! Looks like a good starting point, and a nice community.

  I started putting together a list here: https://www.sourcesort.com/zombies https://www.sourcesort.com/zombies. Only a few projects on there at the moment though. I found projects which had 10 or more unresponded issues created since the project was last updated.

    Interesting. So are these the projects you came across or did you establish some way to find them?
    • Jefro118 7y ago
      I used the GitHub API search endpoint to find them and some extra code to filter them - searching for projects last updated more than 3 months ago with more than 5 open issues and more than 2/3 of open issues having had no response from a maintainer. I was surprised by how few projects turned up actually, so I'll probably rethink this and update the list soon.
