Problem is there's no auto detection that a repo is no longer maintained. Easy to do but github does not do it.

- pabs3 7y ago"No longer maintained" is hard to define, does no commits in the last year mean "this project is mature and needs no changes", "this project is dead and should not be used" or "the author still cares about this project but is busy with other stuff this year" or something else?

- CameronNemo 7y agoExactly. It is subjective. One just needs to look at the contribution history and determine if it is what they need.
- grogenaut 7y agoThe first thing I do is just check commit history for recent commits. Usually a good indicator a thing is abandoned
- franciscop 7y agoHow do you define if a small library has been stable for years?
- bredren 7y agoIssues filed. Their recency and concerns.
- thejosh 7y agoDepends on what the repo is/problem it solves. Sometimes something is considered "done", when it doesn't need anymore work to it. :-)
