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.
