I think this is a good idea.

I will add as a side note, if you can't maintain something anymore, put a big heading on the README.md saying so. If it's popular, point people to a maintained fork.

(Nothing I write is extremely popular but I'm going to go through and "deprecate" a few things of mine tonight)
