I am doing some research to understand better the open source ecosystem, specifically the impact that unmaintained or abandoned libraries have on enterprise users. I am looking to compile a list of projects that fit in this category if you know of any. Additionally I am looking to identify critical libraries that are maintained by single or loosely affiliated individuals that are depended upon by many but present a risk in the maintainers abandoning the project.

Any help would be amazing! TIA

Example: Last year (2022) Lerna was largely unmaintained and many users were at risk of losing support. Eventually the team at Narwhal (the team behind Nx) took over Lerna and continue to maintain it to this day. I am hoping to find things like Lerna that are nearing total abandonment and/or deprecation.
