The commit rate for a project like Tauthon, whose aim is to continue
maintaining Python 2.7 (bugs, security, and the occasional backport of 3.x
features), which itself has been in maintenance mode in the past years, is
hardly a relevant metric. Clearly, it will remain low compared to ones in
expansion. And it actually *should*, without a change in the project goal.

If you dig on GitHub a bit more, you'll see that there was a change in
maintainership about 2 years ago, which went smoothly, and several guys very
much interested in making sure it continues (e.g., one runs his startup
infrastructure on it).

I'm pretty sure there are lots of ports in the tree for projects who haven't
seen many commits in *years*. This is hardly a problem as long as they still
build and are used/maintained by some.
