Research direction

Start by reviewing the model files under actions/ql/lib/ext/manual/ and actions/ql/lib/ext/generated/. Determine whether non-experimental queries use these GitHub Actions models and investigate why they have not been updated in about two years; the work is done when their usage and maintenance status are documented.

The model files under actions/ql/lib/ext/manual/ and actions/ql/lib/ext/generated/ define threat models for various GitHub Actions. Are these models used by any non-experimental queries? Why haven't these models been updated in ~2 years?
