I am luckily not in such a situation, but I think it is a valid question for which there should be an answer.

There actually is an answer. Please see https://eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2010.php#4_7_Committers_and_Contributors (emphasis added)

At times, Committers may become inactive for a variety of reasons. The decision making process of the Project relies on active committers who respond to discussions and vote in a constructive and timely manner. The Project Leaders are responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of the Project. A Committer who is disruptive, does not participate actively, or has been inactive for an extended period may have his or her commit status revoked by the Project Leaders. (Unless otherwise specified, "an extended period" is defined as "no activity for more than six months".)

That said, I believe that a project leader removing a committer without their consent is a rare occurrence. But I also believe that the development process clearly states the roles, responsibilities, and process.
