Description
When searching for a package it would be nice to see a rating/score index of how the package is actively maintained. For example, this value can be calculated based on the date of the last release and commit, the response time per issue and other GitHub API data. Currently, when searching for a package, the most popular package is not always good and this can leads to package selection errors, like here https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/49831
