I would suggest that you make this harder by for example -> auto expire committers which have not committed for 24 months -and- have not posted to any ASF mailing list or WiKi for 12 months. -> auto expire committers which did not vote on certain well defined issues for 6 months. Or some other 'objective' principle. As this makes it easier to have a very well and objective defined 'roster' of people. Note that in the above _example_ I made the commit period much longer than the vote period. The reason for this is to keep valuable 'knowledge' of experienced committers, which are dormant at some point, in the pool. But those are just examples - there may be betther methods for this community.
