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.
