Open Source Github Repositories in Danger of being Deleted (lemmy.zip)

Looking for your personal lists of Github repositories, which might be deleted from Github at some point, for whatever reason. For example, the maintainer might delete his account from Github or archive all his repositories.

A famous example of an open source project, which had trouble to continue thriving, is youtube-dl.

Which projects' repositories do you think are worth backing up?

If any repository that you use, or are interested in, is hosted on a commercial, for-profit service (even if it has a free tier), back it up. It will, eventually, disappear.
