Just saw this on LinkedIn. Surprised to see some PHP in here. Hello 👋 😆

One thing I notice in some repo's is that it's hard to see who is an active contributor, versus a legacy maintainer, who may have lost interest in a project. This can lead to legacy maintainers getting contacted about projects they are no longer involved in, and confusion as to who the active and current team are.

It would be interesting if there was a way to show the last contribution date (maybe even PR) in the generated contributors file.

I don't expect this to be added. It's just an idea, and I wondered if placing it here might see interest from others. Thank you.

A nice idea! I could imagine different approaches.

  1. Just sort the list of contributors by the date of their last contribution in descending order.
  2. Show the date of the last contribution behind the username.
  3. Split the contributors into two lists:
    a) "Our thanks for contributions made in the last twelve months go to:"
    b) "Our thanks also for the many previous contributions made by:"
