Yep. What I mean is what is the process of moving projects there ?

  There is literally a link in the menu named "Process" OP posted. https://attic.apache.org/process.html https://attic.apache.org/process.html

  Either the Project Management Commitee kicks it off, or the ASF's board does it. The fake activity in the repo is probably supposed to prevent attracting attention from the board: > When should a project move to the Attic? > Projects whose PMC are unable to muster 3 votes for a release, who have no active committers or are unable to fulfill their reporting duties to the board are all good candidates for the Attic.

    No, the commit activity is not to prevent attracting the attention of the board, since the board does not monitor commit activity as a metric of project health.

      No commit activity would indicate though that there are no active committees, which is one of the criteria whether a project belongs to the attic. Dunno whether that's one of the metrics or whether it is evaluated as required. However, usually people don't try to nefariously keep projects alive.
