Hi, Jerome! I think it is normally to deactivate inactive accounts. Some projects do it regularly, even having "restricted by time" membership, when you need to re-apply for membership (sure, we do not need it) . If somebody keeps his membership just to read mailing list - no problem, he will stay in the group. That is why I listed users in the previous mail.
I just wanted to restrict access to the creating branches, making commits etc. to escape empty unremovable branches, possible breakable commits. If the most of members are against of this politic - no problem, I will not deactivate users. But do we really need false statistic? Thanks for opinion!
