Oh, I'm not claiming we do some irrevocable revocation of their commit privileges. The fact is that they just don't currently *have* commit access. They couldn't even commit if they wanted to, due to the lack of an account at the ASF. I don't think we have to forget these folks (who have obviously given valuable contributions in the past), just that it makes little sense to call them committers, since they can't commit. >> Just remove the (now-bogus) email addresses perhaps? > > Only if you're sure the email addresses are permanently defunct and not > merely temporarily rejecting our attempts to contact them. We could cross this list with a similar one I sent to private@ a few months ago when trying to contact the various translators. -Hyrum
