Look into using badges to programmatically identify abandoned projects

[mattrob33]

Similar to how CircleCI, Bitrise, etc., use badges to show the current build status of a project, it would be interesting to see if we could use badges to automatically flag projects that have been discontinued, based on the latest commit date.

Agreed, the commit date would be a nice thing to key on.
This would probably require us to store the data in some kind of backend database like sqlite(?) so our automatic checks could access the repo urls.

Shields.io has a badge for last commit date (source), if the goal is to display how stale a repo is, that could work.

To get the date of the last commit, this api call should work (stackoverflow)
