There are two valid points, for one, the Ambassadorship guidelines are very open, more or less, do what you want.  On the other hand, how useful is it to have someone listed as an ambassador for an area when they are MIA?  And what kind of impression does it make if someone is trying to work with Fedora, but their Ambassador is non-responsive?  Perhaps the Regional Ambassador setup that's been going on in NA is a step people can agree on? Or maybe having one Ambassador per area that is known by the community as being active to help maintain a list of other active ambassadors in their area?

Why do we need to locate inactive ambassadors, and remove them? Why not keep em?
It might be better to have people helping esporadically, that no help at all.
Before someone asks, I am sporadic.

If you'd love to meet some of the other Indian Ambassadors or, talk
out loud about what you can do as small steps towards meeting your
Ambassador role, do hop over to #fedora-india. There are a lot of
folks on the channel who would be more than happy to learn from your
experience and share their knowledge.
