I don't think it's impossible, and it would probably be an
improvement. The relevant point is that it isn't happening, and what
are you going to do about it?
If a scheme can only work for unimportant packages, it's probably not
worth the effort of implementing. So I'd say you have to start with
something that gets this part right.
Of course, this is just a reflection of the real problem here -
calibration. Exactly where were you planning to draw the line between
current packages that are well or poorly maintained?
Hell, if you can do *that*, there's ways to derive the metric in an
automated fashion.
