Hi,

Truth is that we do not touch metadata.xml entries or project pages
until infra people process the accounts of the inactive developers. When
a developer is being processed by the infrastructure team, then we clean
metadata.xml entries and the project pages. Additionally, we announce
the orphaned packages in -dev-announce mailing list. Here[1] you can see
the steps we follow to retire a developer.
If you want to see the pending retirements, search bugzilla for bugs
assigned to retirement@g.o.
As a side note, undertakers team is understaffed so we are not very fast
in spotting and warning inactive developers. You can always help us if
you want. Just drop an email to us.
