Hi Daniel, There are two independent questions here.
1) Removal question and its allowance in general: this question asked during every talk I gave related to ASF. My fellows ask me if someone can remove Committer or PMCs. Some folks think it is possible by the vote of PMC. They refer to docs I've shared: mnemonic project & incubator guide. Here I need some general understanding which I can use for answering questions. 2) Inactive members removal: Lack of active PMCs member makes me thinks that at some point some removal will be necessary. We can continuously grow the roster for a TLP project, but sometimes I feel there are ~30 members and only 5-7 active members. So why don't we narrow the roster to 7 and invite new members? It looks reasonable that if you want a binding vote, approve releases, propose new committers you need to join community communication channels and be there. My idea is, first of all, ask PMCs if they want to stay or leave and, second of all, to always keep committership, because it is based on merit. And here for option 2, I don't have any severe issues to address. If it a bad idea, not a problem. In that case, I also would be happy if I understand this topic better.
