Enhancement: Flag stale / depreciated apps

[NomadicCore]

Implement some sort of logic based on certain conditions:

1. Apps that are behind latest release
2. Apps that have not been updated for a certain period of time

This could be time bound and raise a task (maybe via Summit) for the team to action. Actions could include ignore flag in monitoring.yml, raise issue for update, raise issue for depreciation (and or/search for alternative), reduce down order from officially supported to community support and so on. There woild be an eventually audit log of issues / actions before an app is depreciated and woild help the repo stay current and prune unmaintained apps in a more effective manor.

@rav101 This sounds like an excellent idea, I wonder if this helps?

I'm not sure how much we'll rely on package maintainers, or whether it's possible to script the building of packages, as they are updated upstream. If we rely on human intervention, I guess we'll also run the risk of "fly by maintainers" building a package initially, then never bothering, again.

Could you perhaps expand on your idea above, so we can potentially assess whether this could be implemented? Perhaps list the explicit steps, so they can be discussed/ refined/ potentially implemented?

Great idea!
