Inactive members can also be caught red-handed by way of the MIA team, as Cyril and Lucas mentioned already. I belive we do not need any more exits than what we already have: * People can gracefully retire completely * People can opt to become Emeritus * People can leave the project by natural means * People can be expelled * People can become inactive and spotted via MIA, and dealt with according to the MIA policies. That's plenty of ways already, pretty much all bases covered. We should, perhaps, be a bit more aggressive with MIA checks at times, but that does not really need any big sweeping changes within the project. Right now, uncaught inactive members are not much of a burden, except for having an active account, with all of its security and other implications. Do you see a particular problem, or shortcoming, perhaps, that you'd like to see solved? -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
