Some thoughts:

  • FlaggedRevs attempts to show an old, good version in favor of newer untrusted activity, whereas here we want to remind people to add activity to an old, no longer accurate version. I'm not sure there's actually any significant overlap in functionality, goals, workflow, or infrastructure.
  • Consider an "aging continuum" rather than a strict cutoff. An indication of activity since last approval may be useful as well.
  • Note also that an old page isn't necessarily out of date -- it should be possible to confirm that the state is ok and 'reset the clock' without changing it, though that should be visibly indicated somehow in the aging state history.
  • Ensure it's possible to assign pages to other people, and to reassign pages in bulk (say if a person leaves the ops group or if projects are reassigned)
