I dont know if this helps, but... at Terra.com we offer free accounts of email. blog, etc... if a user spends 3 months inactive then the account goes to a 'cool down' state where its data remains there but is not public (in the blogs case) for one week after that week the account gets deleted.
Maybe we can implement that 'cool down' state for 3 weeks or so with weekly reminders or so before actually deactivating the account.

That looks like a base FAS dump of total accounts, which I reckon is easy enough to get. But can it be automated? Or made easy for a yokel like me to do it?
Is "active accounts" cla+1 ? or just anything with any account thats not marked inactive? cla+1 is easy to get by just going to fedorapeople and running a 'getent passwd | wc -l' I think.
This was just active accounts, not 'contributors'. One thing I'd note is this count isn't very accurate as we still aren't actively expiring accounts. This number cannot go down at the moment, only up. We should fix it, tricky to do without annoying everyone (IE: the reset your password fiasco.. you'd think I killed everyone's cat)
