How about calling them inactive. infra will remove cvs/svn/git access |
| 33 |
and when they have time to contribute to a manner that we expect that |
| 34 |
access can be restored. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Know that infra is/has been planning to automatically disable |
| 37 |
cvs/svn/git access for those who haven't committed in some time period |
| 38 |
(2 months is the current idea) |
