Ok for me to go with forks for GSoC but as Ben said, we probably need to
find something about abandoned forks.

The issues you mentioned are the same with forks. Instead of having
abandoned branches in the main repo where maintainers could know if they
are active or not, we will have abandoned branches in abandoned
repositories without MR to know they exist and they would need to be
cleaned.
