The PMC may vote on it but only the board can remove a PMC member, they have 
been reluctant to do so in the past, and I don’t think they would remove people 
for being inactive. The PMC can remove committers but it’s extremely rare.

Merit doesn’t not expire and only the board can remove PMC members, a project 
could ask for removed but only the board can actually remove them. In general 
there's no issue in having inactive member and they may decide to become active 
again.

Some time back there was an attempt to clean up any project which mentioner the 
6 month inactivity thing, not all of them were caught.

Thanks,
Justin
