What are proper criteria for flagging a package out of date? My reason

Well, it is currently flagged out of date:
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/ttytter/
But I don't know why, since upstream is apparently dead and the
community package is already on the latest (ancient) upstream release.
Is this because it got forked to continue support? I think that
qualifies as new software, and therefore a new package.
You're right, but people can flag it out of date for whatever reason they want
(and doing this a lot causes maintainers to ignore the flag). In this case,
yes, it is because of a fork.
The fork is called oysttyer and was taken over by the oysttyer
organization and the original author created another package called texapp
to run on the adn social network.
