On the other hand, many many packages on https://pypi.org/ have not been updated in the last 5 years since they are essentially feature-complete. They don't need active development, the feature-set in the last published version still works.

It's a fair point that sometimes software is "just done". Combining the dependency graph with version freshness may yield even more informative retention/attrition metrics. { EDIT: as in "either updated in N months or a dependency of something which was". Of course, this can easily neglect reverse dependencies not in the package graph, but perfect can be the enemy of the good. :-) }
