Open-source dependency maintenance checklist for small software teams

A bounded maintenance checklist for teams that need a quick view of direct dependency health signals.

1. Start with direct production and development dependencies.
2. Check the latest published release and whether the package is deprecated.
3. Record licence metadata and missing licence fields for review.
4. Look for obvious maintenance signals such as stale releases or registry errors.
5. Treat the result as maintenance triage, not a vulnerability or legal opinion.
