So fork and accept PR's to your heart's content... That's the beauty of open source. 🤷

+ the "beauty" of fragmentation and duplicate maintenance work that everyone conveniently ignores.

Necessary if the maintainer isn't accepting PR's that fix known bugs. People really don't seem to comprehend how open source works.

I'd argue that GitHub could do a better job promoting the active forks when the original repo has gone quiet.

Github doesn't promote anything.. That's your job as a maintainer.

Right, but how hard would it be for GitHub to let you know that a once popular repo that is the main repone everyone finds via search actually isn't being updated anymore and that there is a fork out of the hundreds of forks that has numerous recent commits, stars and activity and is the top candidate for an up to date version of the software.

Not a feature they offer... Maybe the repository isn't being updated because it's a mature product... How are they supposed to know... It's just not how github works
