Is there any reliable summary of this information, rather like a matrix
that describes characteristics of the relevant EL6 repos?
Examples of matrix columns (assuming the rows lists the repos):
paid professional or volunteer maintained?
You answered your own question right here.
What "paid professional" is paid to maintain such a list? And if it
matters to you that a repo is maintained by a paid staff, then you'd
probably also not trust a list maintained by voltunteers (Who would
validate the list to standard? And what employer sets the standard?). So
if you yourself decided to create such a list it would be in your spare
time as a volunteer effort, thereby invalidating its use by others who
want such a list and only trust work performed by paid staff for said
purpose. Etc.
This is a circular line of questioning which crops up from time to time;
the answer remains the same.
