repology could be useful, e.g. Projects list - Repology

If you have a nixpkgs checkout you can also safe the snippet below to a file, say getmaintainers.nix and call it with
nix eval --impure -f ./getmaintainers.nix maintained
or
nix eval --impure --expr 'import ./getmaintainers.nix {maintainer = "figsoda";}' maintained

{ pkgs ? import ./. { config.allowBroken = true; }
, maintainer ? "dawidd6"
}: with pkgs.lib;
let mypkgs = 
  filterAttrs (name: value:
   (builtins.tryEval value).success &&
   elem maintainers.${maintainer} (value.meta.maintainers or [])
  ) pkgs;
in
    { maintained = pkgs.lib.mapAttrs (n : v : (v?pname ? v?name) ) mypkgs; }

I am trying to get a list of packages maintained by myself using following code:

with import ./. {};

let
  maintainer = pkgs.lib.maintainers.imincik;
  pkgMaintainers = pkg: pkg.meta.maintainers or [];
  maintains = pkg: builtins.elem maintainer (pkgMaintainers pkg);
  robustMaintains = pkg: let result = builtins.tryEval (maintains pkg); in if result.success then result.value else false;
  maintainsPackages = pkgs.lib.filterAttrs (name: pkg: robustMaintains pkg) pkgs;
in
builtins.attrNames maintainsPackages

which works for top level packages, but doesn’t work for packages in attribute set - for example python3Packages.

$ nix eval -f ./maintainer-query.nix

[ "LAStools" "dcw-gmt" "entwine" "gdal" "gdalMinimal" "geos" "geos_3_11" "geoserver" "grass" "gshhg-gmt" "ili2c" "libLAS" "libgeotiff" "libosmium" "librttopo" "libspatialindex" "libspatialite" "libtiff" "mapcache" "mapnik" "mapproxy" "mapserver" "mbtileserver" "openjump" "osm2pgsql" "osmium-tool" "pdal" "pg_featureserv" "pg_tileserv" "pmtiles" "postgis" "proj" "protozero" "qgis" "qgis-ltr" "saga" "shapelib" "spatialite_gui" "stac-validator" "t-rex" "tegola" "tile38" "tippecanoe" "whitebox-tools" ]

I was trying to use filterAttrsRecursive instead of filterAttrs but it doesn’t help. Actually, following simple code doesn’t work in repl either

nix-repl> pkgs.lib.filterAttrsRecursive (n: v: n == "fiona") {python = { fiona = {}; };}

Any ideas ?
