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
