Hey @aucampia,

i am currently not aware of strict guidelines on when a repository or project on the list will be marked as abandoned, but i assume it's

  • in the range of 2-3 years without releases
  • if the project doesn't get patched for critical fixes for a while
  • if the project maintainer mentiones that it's abandoned in the corresponding readme
  • if somebody creates a PR for marking it abandoned

We do a irregular but mostly yearly check of projects to identify non-patched ones and update this list accordingly.

You're welcome to create a PR for marking repositories as abandoned if you find hints on their status.
