[orbit-dev] How and when to remove inactive committers?

Especially these three:

As I suspect you all know, each Eclipse Project can (and should) remove 
committers who are no longer active. 

In fact, the Foundation's Portal provides a list of "inactive" committers, 
which mostly means no cvs commits for 9 months or more. 

According to that list, 17 of our 29 committers are inactive (but some of 
those are relatively new committers). 

I think Orbit is different than other Projects in that some people are 
responsible for just a few bundles and those bundles don't change very 
often. So, I took a close look at the 17 inactive and most people I know 
to still be active one way or another, except for the people listed above: 
they show up as inactive and also do not have any bundle associated with 
their name according to our IP Logs. So, I'm thinking they are truly 
inactive and have no need for committer access to Orbit. 

Accordingly I plan to remove them soon, unless I hear otherwise. 

I am not really looking to reduce our committer list ... but I do think 
the responsible thing to do is to monitor and adjust the list occasionally 
(roughly yearly) ... so if any of you three want to stay on the list, just 
say so. 

Thanks,
