This is kind of horrifying, but also I wonder if these people look
like they're inactive because they're over-relying on Packit to do
their work.

For example, linux-system-roles got auto-orphaned once because the
packager set up fire-and-forget Packit configuration years ago and
they proceeded to do nothing else in Fedora.

It wouldn't surprise me if some Packit adoption is responsible for a
large chunk of this.
