It'd be nice if the original maintainer would let the active fork take over the main name, repo, website, etc. when that happened.
The forks could just change their name, so they're more easily found. For example mRemote got pretty much abandoned, so mRemoteNG got created.
Or people give forks better names. For example, I've forked some dotnet6 project, and called the fork {project}-dotnet8 - then when people look thought the fork list on github, it's not 20 forks all with the same name
