Maybe we can move anything not updated in three years to a separate page, or at least put it at the bottom of the list? And while we are at it, can we put the actual postgres project at the top? It doesn't look good that the first three projects have had no updates in a decade on average, and you have to dig a bit to find postgres.

https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?o=age

This order can also be set in the gitweb.conf [1].

our $default_projects_order = "age";

Regarding to the old projects, we can use the category feature that allows us
to group by category and the active projects can be listed on top. The
$projects_list_group_categories enables this feature [2].
