We could call them "dormant". And I obviously support culling our membership list for the exact reasons Victor listed (especially since I was planning to do this at some point anyway :) .
My only question is whether we care about leaving people on b.p.o who have gone dormant with triage privileges as well? It's much less important, but if they haven't contributed in a while they probably are not up to sped with triage practices and thus might do something wrong by accident.
