So, I have a probably-controversial idea for a follow-up on this.
I'll add one more idea/loophole to consider closing. I am a member of the
packager group but no longer maintain any packages. I am active enough in
other ways to not be noticed by this policy. I don't think that is right.
I have submitted a ticket to voluntarily give up my packager rights under
this policy. However, we should probably verify that a packager actually
has at least one package or is a proven packager as a part of this policy.
I realize that it is very hard to know how long someone has not had any
packages, so this could result in a request to validate to a person who is
temporarily without a package during the period when the script is run,
however I think this is a reasonable edge case to resolve manually.
