Michael,
Without contributors there is no need for infrastructure, right? ;)
To me it means that we need more contributors working on infrastructure (as on every other
aspect of the distro) not pruning.

While I agree that this may make lose some contributions, on the
other
hand, there is some team that have more aggressive pruning
( infrastructure team, for example ).
And keeping inactive accounts could cause issue for voting ( ie, if
we
need for some reason to have a quorum of people ), and for sure could
increase the work for various sysadmin tasks in some specific case
( like if we need to contact all users to make them change their
password and check they did ).
