Why it ranks here

Health score explained

Mailman scores 10/100, #11 of 12 in Communication - Email - Mailing Lists and Newsletters: 0 commits in the last 90 days earn 0.0 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed. That places it in the stale band (below 40). The biggest shortfall is commit activity, worth 35.0 more points.
