In plain English

This repository is a public directory that lists all the open-source Scala projects currently being maintained by VirtusLab's automated Scala Steward service. Scala Steward is a bot that automatically keeps your dependencies up to date. Instead of manually checking whether new versions of libraries are available and updating them yourself, the bot does it for you, it watches for releases, creates pull requests with the updates, and handles much of the tedious dependency management work. VirtusLab, the company behind Scala Steward, runs a public instance of this service that volunteers to help maintain a curated set of open-source projects. This particular repository simply documents which projects have signed up for or been enrolled in that free service. It's useful if you're curious about which Scala projects are actively being kept current, or if you're considering whether to use Scala Steward for your own project and want to see examples of it in action. For maintainers of Scala libraries and applications, knowing that other projects use this service can be a signal that it's reliable and worth trying yourself. It's essentially a "supported projects" list, transparency about who benefits from VirtusLab's volunteer infrastructure. The README doesn't elaborate on much detail beyond that, so this is a fairly minimal repository: it's more of a public record than a tool or library you'd install and use directly.
