Inactivity in the game doesn't really mean unreachable though. omd has been active on github with an occasional month off for 7 straight years. This email address for me is an alias of my main protonmail address, and emails directly to me go to the main inbox which will pop up on a few of my devices immediately. The owners aren't the currently most engaged players, they're people who have shown consistent contactability. That said, I'm not really that invested in my criteria, I just chose what seemed reasonable. But if we're going to tweak it further, I'd rather seek some sort of consensus. -- nch Webmastor, NAX Exchange Manager, Pirate
