As a person who writes code for himself, I generally write a note about the state of the repository. In my case, if there's no commit for three years, this means that code is in production for at least three years, and is not broken on any of my systems, so nothing is being updated. This is generally result of my (sometimes unreasonable) effort to write everything with absolute minimum number of libraries, and vendoring of the libraries I use. So, clone, (optionally) compile, use. If it doesn't work for you, let me know. We can work something out, as long as it's reasonable.
