A lot of the proposed new GUIs seem to be LLM generated and seem to be very recently launched projects. This changes the guidelines to only allow projects that have been around (somewhat arbitrarily) 3 years or more and ask for some evidence that the project already has users.

@jvns Ah nice, I recently started to add the I like your policy, but I'm not sure it's enough. I mean, there are many GUIs on the list already, and I'm not sure they all are still properly maintained. Also the list is pretty long, as a user I think it's almost impossible to find a GUI that suits you. I think I lean more towards retiring the list as a whole, like @dscho proposed: #2179 Or, at least, if we adopt this policy (which I'm not against), someone should at least re-verify all the tools that are on the list currently. |

I'm still uncomfortable with these guidelines, as they would still require much more time and effort from any reviewer that I, for one, could spare.
I noticed that a lot of the proposed new GUIs seem to be LLM generated and seem to be very recent projects. https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+state%3Aopen+label%3Aproposed-new-gui
Personally as a user I'm most interested in "established" projects which are already used by many people, and which have been around for a while. I don't think the Git website's role is to promote every single Git project.
So this changes the guidelines to only allow projects that have been around for 3 years or more (honestly a pretty arbitrary number) and ask for some evidence that the project already has users.
