As KiBi pointed out, we have MIA. And we also have WAT runs (the idea was to do regular pings of otherwise inactive DDs -- no vote, no upload during the last n months), though I'm not sure that WAT runs were done recently. (WAT runs: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/02/msg00008.html) Inactive members are quite harmless, I'm not sure if we need to spend more work detecting them. Detecting inactive package maintainers is more much useful. Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
