Is 4 weeks enough with 5 total emails? 4 week warning, 3 week, 2 week, 1 week, you've been disabled?
I think a month is reasonable. A week is easy to miss, two weeks is a week plus someone getting back from vacation and missing emails while they were gone, then drowning as they try to catch up.
Month-long summer vacation is, or at least used to be, common in Europe. And what of situations that are even a bit unusual, like someone getting hurt and being in hospital for a month or two?
I don't have much of a problem with a short fuse on an easily reversible action, like disabling your Fedora password and requiring you to reset it. Blocking email or removing web content should only be done after a significant period of time --- multiple months --- has elapsed without signs of life.
