This is a really good idea, and I think that such an operation should be |
| 21 |
performed (and perhaps even enforced as a yearly or twice-yearly thing). |
| 22 |
The only issue I have with the idea is that projects with dead members |
| 23 |
and slacking leaders are unlikely to perform such a task, so you'll |
| 24 |
never get any updates from them, so devs will be demotivated to work on |
| 25 |
$project, and thus we enter the vicious cycle again... |
