> I was thinking, would it be helpful to keep track of how far behind each dependency is in terms of minor, patch, and major updates?

This is exactly what I've added for depshub.com, and people seem to like it a lot. It just gives you better visibility across all of your connected repositories about what the current status of each dependency is and how the major vs. minor vs. patch ratio changes over time. While it's still a naive metric, it's the easiest to understand and visualize - and as a result, the one that is used the most.

> Any ideas on how we can measure improvements?

- Quantitative: Spend as little amount of time as possible on trying to keep everything relatively up to date (hours/month) - Qualitative: not having any CVE issues, not having major updates for core libraries and tools.
