## Maintenance policy
### When a project is unmaintained
A gap in commits does not mean a project is dead. Some tools are finished and need no changes. Judge a project by whether it still works and whether a maintained alternative exists:
- Dead, and a maintained alternative exists: remove it.
- Dead, still works, and no real alternative: keep it and mark it 💀.
- Dead and broken or insecure (relies on a defunct API, has unpatched security holes): remove it.
The 💀 icon means "unmaintained but still the best available option", not "quiet lately".
### Review cadence
Pull requests are reviewed in monthly batches. A slow response is not a rejection.
### Automated checks
- Every pull request that touches `README.md` runs a link check and an entry-format check. Fix the reported problems before asking for a review.
- On the first of each month a job scans the whole list for dead links and for archived or stale repositories, then opens a single "Health report" issue. Delisting and 💀 flagging happen from that report.
