If we really want 3 letters, "Ret." is an abbreviation for "retired," but that may not be familiar to users. I'm leaning more in the direction of just writing the whole word out. |

Browsing the site a bit after #236 was merged, I have to wonder whether "MIA" is really the right label to indicate that a repository has been marked as "archived".
Literally, MIA means "missing in action", but contextually the author has specifically marked a package as archived/abandoned and there is thus no action to be missing from. I would rather expect MIA to refer to a package that hasn't been updated in a long time but still has high activity on issues and PRs, but that is not a metric that we can judge upon.
Imo we could just re-use the same terminology as GitHub does and mark these packages as "archived" instead, which is already used in the hover tooltip.
