There is currently no clear way to differentiate apps of questionable status, which:

  • Have no active development

  • Fail to install at all, faulty & dangerous

  • Have only a single release on the appstore

    • Are X versions behind current Nextcloud stable.
  • Can become part of a way for people registered on the appstore to flag or report (or simply identify) these apps:

    • For complete removal from the appstore
    • Author has requested removal on their git repo or elsewhere
    • Active fork has appeared, which is also on the appstore, and the previous app is clearly abandoned

Flagged category if nothing else is a stop gap solution

  • Any app added to "Flagged" category could at least be easily identified by being in Flagged.
  • You could remove a flagged app from all other categories, so it is only visible in Flagged or All.
    • Flagged apps could also be worth making a different color or appending / prepending text to make it totally clear the app is flagged at a glance within the appstore.
  • Add an auto-pinned review on any Flagged app to specify: "This app has been flagged as possibly abandoned or unstable."
  • Flagged apps could be treated as having no rating, to further clarify they are flagged and questionable

Hope this inspires some ideas. Cheers! Cleaning up the appstore listings could clear out the entropy.
