My third-party perspective: This might make sense for reviewer status which is more about project leadership/direction but perhaps not for committer status which is more about proven good judgement and experience. I don't think the WebKit code base evolves so unexpectedly that 6 months invalidates the qualifications for committer status. Also consider: 1. Removing committers is actually more work than not removing them -- you now need to track start dates and run jobs to identify expired people. You also potentially need warnings, a review process in case of mistakes, etc. 2. People employed for WebKit development might be absent 6 months for totally valid reasons like maternity/paternity leave. Regards, Marshall > > - R.
