Related to this is the rather tenuous connection between garage and the repositories.

I wonder about having some kind of timeout on garage. There are a number of projects there named after the app or debian package of the app that have been abandoned. It makes little sense to keep the skeletons around.

https://garage.maemo.org/projects/uqm/

One example is uqm. I found a rudimentary and obsolete project called "uqm" in garage and assumed that was the extent of uqm for maemo. There was in fact at least one more recent and developed port of uqm.

I think it would help make it clear who is working on what, and what its progress is, if a way to expire untouched garage projects and also a way to connect garage releases to the repository package page existed.
