I understand the feeling but: 1. It's inactivity _in the Debian Python team_ only. That doesn't mean these people aren't active members of the Debian community :) 2. That info is already public: https://salsa.debian.org/groups/python-team/packages/-/group_members?sort=oldest_last_activity > Maybe we could contact them directly (for example with an > automated email) and set an access expiration date via the gitlab > API. If someone wants to write a script that poll the Gitlab API and run such a service, it would really be cool! I'm not planning on doing that though, I'll mostly go "click click click" for a few minutes on the web interface and be done with it :P -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Louis-Philippe Véronneau ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ pollo@debian.org / veronneau.org ⠈⠳⣄
