I went ahead and cleaned it up a little bit. (It now uses OptionParser,
etc.) I also changed the formatting a bit and added a 14-day stale
counter. (Check the last rev, if it is > 14 days old, count it as stale.)

We can easily set the number of days.

Anyway, with that flag, I get:

Also note that we have some odd bits in there. Like we have *both*
'mozilla-thunderbird' and 'thunderbird' listed (former doesn't have a
branch, latter does, but it is 150 days old.)

Also, we have firefox, firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5. The first doesn't
have a branch, but the last two do.

With a 14 day threshold we end up with:
TOTALS:
   26 ok
   49 stale
   25 unregistered
    0 otherwise broken


14 days is probably a little tight. A few entries are in the 14-20 day
range. However we have a bunch of ones that are closer to 100+ days old,
and I'm pretty sure those are genuinely out of date.
