"attic" sounds better to me. It's different from "contrib" in that those are projects that were "officially" being worked on by the team at some point in the past. As for the specific rules, given our development practices, we could use a dynamic rule such as "no commit in the last 2 major releases" (in addition to the "not working anymore rule").
