----- Original Message ----- The problem here is that in my eyes there are no inactive contributors and there shouldn't be anything preventing people from contributing (even if it's one update per year). While I agree that projects that FTBFS, can't be installed and etc. should be purged every release, everything else should be out of question because the fact that someone considers something legacy doesn't mean that it's not usable for others. And to make it clear handling bugs is not a measure at all about activity. So if you come with a technical list of things that make sure that a package is unusable for 100%(e.g. can't be installed because of missing dependency) of the users it's not a question that it should be removed, but if there is someone that signed as a maintainer and there is even a slight possibility that someone can use nothing more can be required from the maintainer. Note the usage of required, all kind of suggestions can be made and people can do additional work but everyone should do as much as he can/want/have fun to do.
If more than you and Kevin Kofler are working under this assumption than the whole scenario begs the question why we even bother with QA and Security et all...
