Having this information in the XML file is a great idea.

I believe it would be good to use the "stalled" information when
someone is viewing the language page, as in
http://l10n.gnome.org/languages/LL/
and any other pages under that URL.

What we could put (with fancy HTML, on one of the top corners of the 
page) is something like

"This translation team has been inactive for a long time.
If you wish to take over the team,
please register at the gnome-i18n mailing list
and request to start working for this language."
