>I don't think there's any at least medium sized project that is considered to be done but not abandoned/legacy and does not receive any commits. As another commenter mentioned, this can be pretty common in math libs. Here's an example: https://github.com/fommil/netlib-java https://github.com/fommil/netlib-java This project BLAS/LAPACK/ARPACK bindings for JVM languages. The repository is marked as archived and the owner explicitly states that the project is done. The last commit was 21 Jun 2017. This project is still heavily used, there are still multiple libraries that use those bindings.

The README.md contains install instructions for Debian and Ubuntu, these tend to outdate (not work) quite fast with newer versions of the distributions. Also if any of the low-level libraries BLAS, LAPACK or ARPACK updates, then the wrapper might not continue to work with newer versions or is stuck on a legacy version including bugs and security issues 4 ever. > This project is still heavily used, there are still multiple libraries that use those bindings. Heavily used does not imply that a dependency is not abandoned.
