Thoughts on removing access to the Python teams repositories to inactive members ?

Show all headers | View raw

Hello!

I'm frequently replying to people asking to join the Python Team and as 
per our policy, we are pretty liberal in granting access to our 
repositories :)

That's great, but of course, the more people have access to the 
repositories, the more potential for abuse.

There are currently 539 members of the team on Salsa and some of these 
members haven't been active in the team for a while. I was wondering 
what people thought of removing access to accounts that haven't been 
active between 2023 to 2026.

I think a 3 years cutoff is fair? A quick look on Salsa lists around 75 
accounts that would meet that criteria.

Of course, people that would be removed could always ask to be added 
again, if they need access to a repository ;)

Cheers,
