    @leonid @tante what if there are no known bugs? Some stuff is just quite stable. Personally I prefer that over a project adding new features all the time with the risk of introducing new bugs. Sure if the issue tracker is full of bugs and no action that sounds dead. But there are also quite active projects, regular new features, that have an issue trackers full of bugs. but nobody cares about maintaining it's all about new features.

    @orava @tante I came across many libraries and applications that hadn't had any commits for months or even years. There were also a lot of issues in the tracker. They are probably abandoned. I would never use them in my projects.

    Sometimes, updates are released to fix issues or security vulnerabilities in dependencies.

    I think a small, relatively isolated library or project can remain stable indefinitely. However, even these will have some dependencies, such as the OS.
