I would suggest that just responding on mailing lists count as well. It is fairly easy to see if a user’s email shows up in any of the mailing lists. This would also include GitHub commits, PRs, discussions, etc. since they all generate email to a list.
Also - do you truly mean “emeritus” (removal from the PMC with notification to the board) or simply flagging them as inactive. We have been doing the latter in Logging Services for several years now and track it at https://logging.apache.org/team-list.html. Note that it does NOT require a vote to move someone to the inactive list.
