Display repository activity level

When I browse for existing solutions on Github it happens quite a bit that I find something that seems to fit the bill only to notice later that there hasn’t been any activity on that project in years.

It would be nice to have a banner / notification in that case that displays, that I am currently viewing an inactive repository - as this keeps me from checking various branches for any commit history.

This notification could be displayed on a repositories page, similar to what GitHubs archived projects does. Maybe something like: ‘You are currently viewing a repository that hasn’t seen any activity in a while’.

If a banner is too noisy an alternative could be a simple badge next to the repository name (where refined-github currently also displays the build status).

The only question is when a repository should be considered inactive - I personally would consider a repository without any activity (no new commits on any branches, no closed issues, …) in the last 3 years inactive, but I guess that’s up for debate 😃

That would be good to include on the Code tab, the code is simple enough:

<poll-include-fragment src="/USER/REPO/graphs/participation?w=155&amp;h=28&amp;type=sparkline)" />

But it would be unnecessary in most places, so we can’t use it.

maybe it can include the sparkline which can be found on the repo overview at https://github.com/sindresorhus?tab=repositories&type=source
