Abandoned/ maintenance repo alerts

[oprogramador]

Many people check whether a repo is still maintened by the date of the last commit but it's not the best way because there can be a simple library which is already finished so it doesn't need any new commits. However if somebody reports a bug, a performance issue or a feature request it would be good to resolve such issues or at least answer them.

We can calculate a maintanability coefficient:

coefficient = percentage_of_answered_prs_and_issues_withing_last_2_years + percentage_of_answered_prs_and_issues_withing_last_1_year + percentage_of_answered_prs_and_issues_withing_last_6_months + percentage_of_answered_prs_and_issues_withing_last_3_months

However the PRs and issues opened within the last 7 days are excluded.

I would like info at the main repo page (with the coefficient value):

• red abandoned if coefficient equals 0
• orange almost abandoned if coefficient is more than 0 and not more than 20
• amber very poorly maintaned if coefficient is more than 20 and not more than 50
• gold poorly maintained if coefficient is more than 50 and not more than 100
• yellow below average maintained if coefficient is more than 100 and not more than 160
• chartreuse yellow average maintained if coefficient is more than 160 and nor more than 240
• chartruese green above average maintained if coefficient is more than 240 and not more than 300
• lime well maintained if coefficient is more than 300 and not more than 350
• green very well maintained if coefficient is more than 350 but nor more than 380
• azure wonderfully maintained if coefficient is more than 380 but less than 400
• blue perfectly maintained if coefficient equals 400

#562 seems like it could use an implementation of this, even if only to see whether it'd be useful in production. It does seem elaborate.…
