I must say I don't really know how to interpret the data. Also because as you say active package count isn't precisely the same as project health. Having more data, like lines of code and/or contributor counts would be nice. But even harder to collect. Two random observations for packages that I happened to look at: - In the manually-collected-release-dates you include eprints, but it isn't really clear that is still a GNU package. https://www.gnu.org/software/eprints/ just redirects to https://www.eprints.org/uk/ I cannot even find the word GNU on their website. The sources mention GNU EPrints 4 times, but almost everywhere the software is just called EPrints. Other uses of GNU are only in combination with the (L)GPL. - GNU diction did do some releases through ftp.gnu.org, but does also have some more releases at http://www.moria.de/~michael/diction/ But it isn't really clear how you would know that. Gentoo has the newer versions, but no other distro seems to have picked them up. Since they aren't published on ftp.gnu.org. No real conclusion from those observations. Except that getting reliable data about GNU packages is much harder than it looks. Thanks for collecting it all. And I hope people will look at it and sent in updates where possible.
