No objections, keeping the list minimal and current is a good idea.
I love removing dead code; I feel a bit different about removing old
colleagues. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic.
If we introduce this policy (which I understand is healthy), let us
give a long warning period (6 months?) before we apply the policy to
existing dormant maintainers. We should also make sure that we
actively try to contact a person before he or she is dropped.
