Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Maybe Perma Delete version 1.0.1 as active, updated 5mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
It can be quite annoying when you want to delete a post but it only has a Trash link. You then need to go into the trash to delete it for real. This plugin allows you to delete a post permanently by turning the trash links into a permanent delete link when you hold down the Esc key on your keyboard.
Maybe Perma Delete adds a convenient way to permanently delete content directly from the admin without the risk of pressing it accidentally:
Esc-hover in post tables: Hold the Esc key while hovering over the Trash action in post, page, or custom post type lists. The link will change to Delete permanently for that specific row.
Esc-hover on the post edit screen: On the single post edit screen, hold Esc while hovering over the Move to Trash link to turn it into Delete permanently.
Bulk actions: The bulk actions dropdowns always include a Delete permanently option alongside the default Trash action.
