It would be relevant to know if a maintainer is still active on npm. This would probably only be possible if the person has already published a package.

For example, we could consider that someone who has published in the past but nothing within three years would be considered as not active.

Any help or opinions are welcome.

Based on this paper, I would say we need to distinguish between a maintainer which is no longer active on a package and a maintainer who is no longer active on the entire npm registry.

Because an inactive
package may have maintainers who are active in other packages,
whereas inactive maintainers indicate the maintainer is inactive in
the entire npm registry

I think 2 years of inactivity is a good default value
