As someone (you could say, the only one) who actually does the work of
submitting the existing Pending patches in oe-core and assignes
Inactive-Upstream, I strongly object.

Inactive-Upstream is not assigned lightly, and we do it only for
projects which are clearly abandoned, and have tons of open PRs and
issues that no one reacts to and in all likelihood never will.

If the project starts up again (e.g. makes a release or someone
discovers a promising active fork), then the patches can be easily
reassigned to a status appropriate for an active project and submitted
with the knowledge that someone will actually look at them and act on
them.
