📦 Package lists can be too long and outdated

Is there a plan for filtering/user options? Several of the bigger grids have a bunch of packages that are python2-only, which I would prefer never to see. Same with packages that haven't seen updates in a decade. Hiding those by default would reduce load significantly.

Maybe the forms grid? I think it's one of the largest on the front page.

~92 packages listed, and MANY of those are VERY out of date or do not seem to have python 3 support.

This feels related to #537

Hi @jefftriplett, if you agree with that I can give a try implementing a filter section with a checkbox for Python 3.

Sounds great. 👍

Partially fixed in #719.

Overall, we need a bit more work with the new package.Package.pypi_* fields to help score the packages to see if they are relevant.

We should penalize packages that have been depreciated from another package.
