Sounds good to me, but I'd actually be more interested in having |
19 |
something the other way around; i.e. monitoring for activity in |
20 |
commits, bugzilla, IRC and maybe the -dev mailing list to see if |
21 |
people are still active and send them a message to encourage them to |
22 |
set devaway if they haven't been active in, say, 15 days. |
