[stp-pmc] Active committers?

[Bjorn Freeman-Benson <bjorn.freeman-benson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

STP PMC,
Regarding the recent new committer election:

Vote summary: 4/0/0 with 44 pending

That's a lot of inactivity on the part of those committers: 40 of them didn't even bother to vote. Are they still active committers or should they be pruned as inactive?  The STP Charter states "A Committer [who] has been inactive for an extended period may have his or her commit status removed by the PMC. ... Active participation in the user newsgroup and the appropriate developer mailing lists is a responsibility of all Committers, and is critical to the success of the Project. ... Committers are required to monitor the developer mailing list associated with all Projects and components for which they have commit privileges. This is a condition of being granted commit rights to the Project or component. It is mandatory because committers must participate in votes (which in some cases require a certain minimum number of votes) and must respond to the mailing list in a timely fashion in order to facilitate the smooth operation of the Project."
