Hi all!

If you've never created a repo or fork on the Wikimedia GitHub organization you can skip this email.

I know that some repos are developed on our GitHub org for reasons. What is developed on our GitHub org? How many things are actively being developed on GitHub org? I have no idea :)

I recently realized that there's not a great way to figure this out[0], but I've been able to narrow the scope a bit. Now I have a list of repos that are (a) in our GitHub org and (b) not in our Gerrit that I could use some help sorting through[1].

== Help, please ==

* Look through repos on The List™[1]

If your repos are on the list, for each of your repos either:

* Archive or Delete it if it's no longer maintained or empty/useless, respectively (and remove them from the list on mw.org)[2]

Or:

* put a "{{tick}}" in the "Active" column on the list on mw.org

== Why==

In a more perfect future we could add the "mirror"[3] tag to repos on GitHub that are mirrored from Gerrit (with a link to their canonical repo locations; for example, gnome-deskop has this[4] and I'm very jealous).

Hopefully, this will help folks wanting to contribute -- either a Wikimedia GitHub repo is a mirror (in which case there's a link to Gerrit in the description) or it's actively being developed on GitHub.
