I don't see a good reason to turn away any amount of help, and I don't |
14 |
think we should ever forcibly retire developers because of inactivity. |

If we let them stay developers, they might continue contributing a few |
16 |
fixes we wouldn't otherwise get, or they may become more active again in |
17 |
the future. Developers are valuable people, and a lot of time has gone |
18 |
into their training and experience. |

Do I think we should remove them from roles besides "ebuild developer"? |
24 |
Sure. |
