summary
Companies find 16% of 8,000+ repositories show no commits after 12 months and half of projects are inactive by year five, so establish a repeatable process: filter repos by last commit date and open PRs/issues/security alerts, check dependency and Linux Foundation criticality scores, communicate deprecation in READMEs and channels, move archives to a separate org such as VMware-archive, automate quarterly reviews, and keep a documented unarchive checklist for anyone who wants to revive a project.
