Remove inactivity and emeritus requirements. http://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2013/board_minutes_2013_06_19.txt notes: "removal of a member of a PMC, except due to their death or resignation, can be requested of the Board of Directors by the PMC chairman or by formal decision of the PMC, but requires a decision by the Board of Directors" This patch removes the distinction between active and inactive, removes the notion of emeritus status (which the ASF's official tools do not support anyway), and notes that removing PMC members required ASF board approval. Impala welcomes contributions from community members, including ones who have been inactive for a while.
