Hi all, I don't think it would be good idea to base module death only on past commits. Take galeon — it is rather actively translated, but Wikipedia states it has been discontinued 3 years ago [1]. Even if we only consider non-translation commits, there might be only bug fixes, that no one wants to release. The idea behind removing dead modules form D-L is to save translators time, so it should be done quickly (ideally one day after final release). Since galeon is replaced by epiphany, new releases are not needed. So we should ask maintainer, if [s]he believes, if the software is to see next release, when there are suspicions of dying software. On the other hand, there might be other software, that is useful and being used, but not actively developed, which should see translation update releases, even if there is no maintainer.
