I am ok with being garbage collected. The list of inactive committers is
long. Especially in the eclipse platform project the commit rights are
'interesting' since they have been given along with component
restructurings. If I remember correctly the platform UI project used to one
of the largest kitchen sinks for commit rights.

Over the years we have long discussions what to do with inactive
committers. Apache never revokes commit rights. I however think it makes
sense to transfer committers into the state of 'former committer' which
does not grant commit rights to that person. This state however should be
different from 'not a committer' as there should be a faster way of
regaining commit rights if interested. Also I think eclipse projects should
keep a publicly accessible history for former committers.

Cheers, Kai

Hi Kai,

It appears your are still a committer on Eclipse/JDT though you haven't
been active in a long time.
Are you still interested in retaining these commit rights ? If so, let me
know.
Along with commit rights, we expect people to remain in touch with the
project, and participate in committer votes for instance.

We have so many inactive committers, that we had to start a GC process to
recover...
