Were you intending your question (about activity) to be a reply to this (third 
set), or to fourth set, where I did make an activity argument?


The only extent to which activity is an argument is that we have been closing 
requests as stale if either:

  *   no test was ever created, or
  *   a test only had a couple of pages created, and those pages were created 
around the same time the RFL request was made—but the test has been completely 
dormant since


Until I got up to the request for Wikipedia Tharu, all of these old requests 
either had

  *   no meaningful activity later than a month or two after the request was 
made, or
  *   plenty of meaningful activity after the request was made.

So they were easy to decide. For Wikipedia Tharu, the test was dormant until a 
year ago. But since there was recent activity, I went ahead and said "eligible".


Is that a problem? I'd rather mark tests as eligible if possible. I'm marking 
tests as "rejected-stale" only if they would otherwise be "on hold" 
indefinitely. We decided a couple of months back that it was better in those 
cases to close the requests, with an invitation for a new one if a community 
reappeared.
