It would be great to have someone to evaluate and direct, long term, which
libraries need maintenance help, what kind of help, and manage the people
doing the work. Previously this was something that the Community
Maintenance Team would oversee. But it doesn’t appear that the CTM is
active any longer. More concretely it would be great if someone(s) did the
following:

* Look at last commit times in the sources of the libraries.
* Look at the outstanding PRs in the libraries.
* Look at the reported issues of libraries.
* Find other metrics to evaluate under-maintained libraries.
* Point people to those libraries that need help.
