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...
