There is no way for a committer to be forced out of a project if
he/she has not done anything wrong.
Leaving the company that sponsors the project is not a reason for
removal. This is a direct consequence of the rules that edict how
a person becomes a committer (remember, it is based on skills,
ability to be trusted with the project, etc. not because one is
employed by a company).
What some projects have done (e.g. we've done in Equinox), is to
purge inactive committers in order to make it easier/faster to go
through some project activity such as votes. However even there,
we would first contact the committers directly by email to know
their intentions before proposing them for removal.

Hi Mickael,
Well, a committer that wants to step down can ask
the project lead to do this.
But this does not answer the question of how to
""vote someone out" who doesn't want to drop his status
voluntarily.”
I am luckily not in such a situation, but I think it
is a valid question for which there should be an answer.

Hi list,
Hi,
I have a pretty good understanding of the how and when to become a committer on an Eclipse project. However, I haven't found any information about how to stop being a committer. Is there any formal process for "retiring" from being a committer? And, more interestingly, is there a way for a project to "demote" an existing committer to being a contributor only? This question is not about the possible reasons for when you would want to do this but more about whether it is possible to "vote someone out" who doesn't want to drop his status voluntarily.
Usually, it happens simply by asking the project lead.
Nothing more than a simple request is necessary.
Then the project lead can remove the committer via portal.eclipse.org >
