Pushing is what counts, yes. There is nothing to do for contributors who send us patches for us to commit. It is easy to measure, e.g. $ name='Joel'; git log | grep -C 1 "Author: $name " | head -n 3 > how about if we remove people who haven't contributed in a > year to any GNU project? Any GNU project - this is harder to measure. You might get some infos through https://www.openhub.net/people . But we don't need to have a fixed rule. Exceptions are also OK; it's only the approximate reduction of risk that matters. Who wants to do it, you or Jim? (I am not an admin on Savannah.) I would find it important, out of courtesy, that after establishing the list of people and before removing their write access, we notify them in a mail, with emphasis that they are welcome to contribute again.
