Weekend at Bernie's II

Summary

Andrew Nesbitt re-ran his May classification of ecosyste.ms critical repos: 421 that were dead, dormant or unknown are active again, though the overall split moved under two points. Ownership rarely changed; a new person took over in six cases. AI-disclosed commits rose from 3.3% to 7.9% of human commits in revived repos, mostly from each repo's top committer. Advisories from previously inactive repos waited a median 38 days for GitHub's reviewed database, versus 11 for active ones, delaying Dependabot alerts.
