  • https://github.com/him188/yamlkt
  • https://github.com/L-Briand/obor

Really sad to hear that Kaml is no longer maintained; it was quite popular in the community. I am not aware of the specific criteria for 'not maintained' except when the repository owner explicitly states so; therefore, I believe that removing only explicitly archived repositories (#3124) is the most meaningful action.
