That's real abandonware. These days people gripe and moan about "abandonware" when they have the source code.
Oh shit, no new commit in 8 months! Abandonware!

I agree with you. If the source code is there, theoretically is not abandonware, but handed to the community.

To be fair, GitHub code rots much faster these days. I would assume anything with a specific job to do (not games) that is untouched for 8 months is circling the drain and expiring in another 8 months.

I generally go by the state of the issues and unmerged commits instead of just the last commit date. Some things are just functionally complete.
