That was my question too. I have plenty of projects I've worked on where they rarely get touched anymore. They don't need new features and nothing is broken.


Is it fair to say they are being "worked on" if nothing is being done?


Sometimes you need to bump a dependency version, adjust the code to a changed API endpoint, or update a schema. Even if the core features stay the same, there's some expected maintenance. I'd still call that being worked on, in a sense that someone has to do it.
