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 ).
