If we do that check before the alpha release that should let us track down awol maintainers and unmaintained pkgs pretty easily, I think.
thoughts?
There's trivial packages which simply don't really need touching. I just updated congruity for the first time in a couple of months. it got a (very trivial) upstream release; upstream could easily have held off and I'd have had absolutely no reason to touch it. it's a simple package that just does what it's supposed to do, it doesn't need much TLC. I wouldn't want to be considered 'unresponsive' just because it hadn't needed touching for an arbitrary period.
which is why All we're suggesting is filing a bug and/or some other kind of notification that says "are you alive".
