Howdy, I would like to propose a project policy change (followed by implementation) regarding "emeritus" status of PMCs and members.
Proposal: 1) IF a PMC member is inactive for 24 months (did NOT participate in any VOTE [by casting binding vote] OR did not create any commit that ended up in the project), he should be automatically moved to "emeritus PMC" status. 2) IF a committer is inactive for 24 months (did NOT participate in any VOTE [by casting vote] OR did not create and/or review any commit that ended up in the project), he should be automatically moved to "emeritus committer" status. Reasoning: Currently if interested party checks ASF report about Maven project on https://projects.apache.org/committee.html?maven , the presented data is skewed, if not even false, about "who" (and more importantly "how many") user is working on a project. This can lead to some unpleasant misunderstandings as well (from "why is my PR not reviewed yet" to many others). Moreover, this same (wrong) number may in fact lessen potential contributors, make them turn away and choose another, less supported project to join. Finally, I think we should shrink the circle of "admin" powered users to those we are almost certain are around us and involved. Project already has "emeritus" roles for both, PMCs and committers AFAIK (correct me if I am wrong). WDYT?
