Hi Mattia,
We seem to be having the same conversation but with opposite
interpretations :) I'll try to clarify my comments below.

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'm sorry for that. The script currently searches for user activity in
src.fp.o, pagure.io, Bodhi, Bugzilla and Fedora mailing lists. Can you
tell me where you're active, so, maybe, I can add that place in the search
pattern?
I am in the packager group. I have no packages. I have activity in BZ,
Fedora mailing lists, etc. However, I believe the script should flag me
for removal from the packager group because I do not have commit rights to
any package and am not a proven packager.

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.
regards,
bex
I don't agree with that. If a user haven't got any commit right to any
package, they don't need to be in the packager group, that's exactly the
scope of this policy. Maybe they left years ago, their commit rights were
removed, but they never have been removed from packagers.
