Thanks for doing the cleanup. 

I think perhaps we should try and do this more regularly (once a year?
twice a year after releases?) and use a more open method. I like the
method nb used for clearing out groups a while back:

* Identify the potentially inactive people
* Open a ticket explaining that we are removing inactive people and
@mention all of the people on the list.
* If they see it and decide they want to be active again, they can
comment in the ticket about that
* After a week or whatever we remove everyone who hasn't responded.

That gives people a chance to notice and become active again and also
prevents any surprize when they are removed. 

Thoughts?
