Repo Health Check – how are the maintainers doing?

In plain words

Repo Health Check helps users assess the wellbeing and activity level of software repository maintainers. The tool evaluates whether a repository's maintainers are actively engaged and responsive or appear neglected and inactive. It's designed for developers who want to understand the health status of projects they depend on or consider contributing to. The service launched in 2016 and provides straightforward indicators about maintainer dedication and project vitality.
