I was thinking of something maybe even simpler - a place for people to post projects they're actually interested in maintaining as open source projects. A subreddit could be the mvp.

Or go the other way, and train a searching algorithm based on a data set of actively maintained open source projects on Github, with things like commit history/contributors/etc as features.

Using a subreddit, you basically have a marketing problem and no way to seed the marketplace. One would need to do both. You are trying to restart http://freecode.com/

How about a README badge?
