Truth is that we do not touch metadata.xml entries or project pages until infra people process the accounts of the inactive developers. When a developer is being processed by the infrastructure team, then we clean metadata.xml entries and the project pages. Additionally, we announce the orphaned packages in -dev-announce mailing list. Here[1] you can see the steps we follow to retire a developer. If you want to see the pending retirements, search bugzilla for bugs assigned to [email protected]. As a side note, undertakers team is understaffed so we are not very fast in spotting and warning inactive developers. You can always help us if you want. Just drop an email to us.
