How are "Retired", "Fading", and "Steady" determined?

E.g., in this screenshot, Christian Decker is marked as retired, but actively working on CLN,

Nicolas Dorier is marked retired, but maintainer of BTCPay Server and NBitcoin,

I haven’t really seen anything from Aaron Voisine in forever (had a hard time reaching him regarding some of his BIPs), while he’s marked as "Fading",

and Brandon Black is marked as retired, but has contributed review to the BIPs repository (and Optech) this year.

Just saw, that Steven Roose is also marked as retired, but he co-authored a BIP this year and is working on one of the Ark projects.

I'll have a look and report back.

Basically, there's super low activity in the last 3 years compared to their past contributions. I ended up tweaking and reached to the definition to mark Gavin Andresen as retired . he was showing up as active because of his 2022 comment saying he is retired.

At a high level, if someone had, say, 20 reviews before the last 3 years and only 1 in the recent period, they're labeled retired. less than 5 reviews makes them "fading."

I haven't accounted for work in btcpayserver or NBitcoin or Lightning yet, so I see that as a data limitation. However, I need to rethink the methodology , it's even marking 2026 contributors as retired.

Yeah, I think Gavin left the space in 2016, he should definitely show up as retired
