While it's great that you're being proactive about this, the unmaintained process was supposed to work the other way around. Branches with no volunteer caretakers are supposed to be getting deleted by default, with no action needed by the project maintainers. Unfortunately that's not been happening that I can tell, which indicates a failure in the overall process. -- Jeremy Stanley
