Also not a native speaker, but the second "of" makes that interpretation impossible (in theory, obviously not for you in practice).

Can you create a Hall of Fame/Shame view which lists the top/bottom n products by longest support period?

It would be nice if these projects competed to get on the leaderboard.

Thanks for making this. I really like it.

Do you have plans to monetize it? I hope not. Because this is a thing that should exist in the world. I would much rather support this via donations than ads or anything else.

Have you considered offering a subscription-based service? (e.g. for timely notifications / compliance reporting / etc.)
