Handling of unmaintained projects

[mjhea0]

@Kludex brought up a good point: How should unmaintained projects be handled?

Some ideas:

• Should we set a flag on the line to mark that it's unmaintained?
• Should we open PRs automatically to evaluate the state of the project once the project is unmaintained after X months?
• Define what is "unmaintained" for us. What does it mean to be unmaintained? A year without any update on the repository, or a year without any commit?
• Not act at all. Remove only if a PR is received stating the reasons of the removal.

Best-of template uses emojis for 6 months and 12 months of inactivity, jfyk.

I can work on some automation, we just need to define rules. We can start with a single case:

• Mark projects as unmaintained (with an emoji or sentence) on the list.

Or maybe some rule to remove projects?

Would adding the last git commit badge using shields.io a good first step?
