Re: [VOTE] Hosting Espressif HAL under Apache umbrella

We can propose removing committers and PMCs who are not involved in the project 
(ASF allows this; we need to notify them).

Are you sure of this.  I recall being told that once a committer, you are a 
committer for life.  I do find this:

Note it is possible to remove a committer's access to repositories in an urgent 
situation, such as their account being taken over by a hacker. However, the PMC 
chair should not take this action for situations such as a committer's extended 
inactivity. In 2026, the ASF Security team is working on proposals that may 
clarify the conditions under which a committer's rights to commit code can be 
suspended or removed.

My case is different.. I am officially emeritus.  Emeritus members are required 
to be listed on the project page, but did not follow that.  See 
https://infra.apache.org/committers.html and 
https://www.apache.org/foundation/members

Emeritus members can re-instate themselves immediately without a vote if the 
wish to become full members again.  Note:  A person must ask to be made 
emeritus.  I don't think that the PMC has authority to modify anyone's 
membership.
