Opt Out Specific Repos

[aaronpowell]

I have over 200 public repos on my GitHub, accumulated over the past decade. With the recent run I have 39 open PRs across my repos, many of which are against projects that are not active/not relevant/dead.

Some examples are a Win8 XAML project or a WinJS wrapper.

Could there be some intelligence added to the repo detection, that if there hasn't been a commit since a pre-determined point in time (maybe since before the CA team existed), the repo is ignored? I'd argue that if you haven't committed to a repo since the CA team was created, it's probably not impactful to our tracking.

I just realized I never answered your initial feature request, @aaronpowell!

I'm totally down for giving each Advocate the ability to surgically opt-out specific repos, instead of opting-out completely as is the functionality today.

I personally don't have the bandwidth today to work on this feature today, so I've added the 'help wanted' label to encourage anyone to take the lead.
