I would love this because a lot of my repositories in my organization I made (https:/Elskom) are marked as archived and with that the view can be harder to scroll down due to most of the repositories being abandoned so I cannot tell if the repository:

  • needs changes / updates
  • is private
  • is abandoned

Until I click into it and see that it is abandoned.

As such I propose moving archived projects over to a separate tab for cleanup of the actual active repositories.

Currently the only way to clean it up would be to either:

  • delete the archived repositories (not recommended in case one needs to go back to the data inside them to use them)
  • move them to some "dummy" organization clone of the original organization they came from that is meant to hold all the abandoned repositories.

I feel like both options are bad ones at best and feel the best option currently is to split the Repositories tab into 2 separate tabs to make everyone happy.
I can also see the organization known as Microsoft could also benefit from this as well too as they abandon things a lot too and prefer to keep them existing for cases like potential users to see that it's abandoned and to notify them of ways to move away from the abandoned code.

Out of 31, 28 is public, out of 28 public maybe 6~7 of them is not abandoned (maybe less if you count non-archived public repositories that received commits within the last 3 months).
