Hello

As you have just affirmed the undertaker's lead decision; this mail
now rather serves as questions and argumentation for future reference.

Why? What makes this an improvement over what we already do?

Is there an actual need for this? What triggered this thought?

How would you define activity? Commits? Discussion? Presence?

Commitment and for example commits are two different things; so, the
meaning of activity is a crucial thing to understand this metaphor.

This competence should not be a rule or a job; rather, it should be the
exception. It is already rare for this to happen in a project; so, if
we start forcing this to happen a bit more often (as that's the effect
this action will lead to) it is simply going to hurt more people.

Unless, of course, there is a good reason to; I wonder if there are any
projects where the lead is blocking progress, unresponsive, ... in a
way that affects Gentoo as a whole without members speaking up about it.

As for project members, I think this is up to the lead to determine.

Scanning the project list, I do not see anything really problematic;
so, I think we are discussing something that is not an actual problem.
