I feel like GitHub should have a better process in place to handle abandoned or poorly maintained repositories. It could be as simple as making actively maintained forks more visible in the UI? Or maybe having a more structured way for people to nominate themselves as maintainers?
- matheusmoreira 3y agoGitHub allows archiving projects which have "read only" and "public archive" prominently displayed. When someone asked me about a project I wasn't planning on developing anymore, I replied to let them know and archived it.
- olalonde 3y agoIt's a step in the right direction but it doesn't solve the problem of helping the community of users and contributors settle on a new maintained repo.
