Does build status really apply though? I see many really maintained and popular projects with failing build statuses. Also by PR activity, are you talking about stale/no response on PRs?

I guess build status doesn't really imply maintained, but if it's passing builds I know it's actively maintained.

Stale PRs is for sure a big indicator, but I think more important is PR's that are merged, as well as commits.
