Include repo maintenance status #44

@friday

Description

@friday

Related to #6 #24 and #43, specifically for repos marked as archived ("archived": true, when you make a request to https://api.github.com/repos/user/repo)

A lot of extensions may work despite being archived, but it means they are not going to fix bugs or security issues and can't even receive pull requests.

For example brpaz/ulauncher-file-search is one of the top rated extensions, but it's been unmaintained for a long time and I think there are better file search extensions, such as hillaryychan/ulauncher-fzf. And each installation of imsakg/ulauncher-translator includes a 35mb gif of Richard Stallman. The repo is unmaintained with no way to contact about improvement suggestions to that.

People don't submit unmaintained extensions. They become unmainained, so it would have to be fetched later, like github stars.

I'm not sure how to display this. Maybe sorted at the bottom with a notice of some kind. Filtering them out completely should be avoided though imo. There could be cases where only one extension handles a certain thing, or if users want to find extensions they used in the past, or find extensions they can fork and maintain themselves.
