Speaking as a rather stale member, I think it makes sense to use the
non-repsonsive maintainer policy[1] for guide owners. For revoking
git-granting roles, 12 months seems like a good cutoff, since that's
two (or at least one and then some) releases with no activity. The
question is "what counts as activity"?
I'd argue against FAS login, since that's not docs-related activity.
Even if someone is super-active elsewhere, I'm not sure it makes sense
to keep them in docs-{writers,publishers} without making a docs-ish
contribution. What counts as docs participation? Obviously git
commits, meeting attendance, docs mailing list posts, Release Notes
wiki editing. Maybe also non-RN wiki editing, probably other things.
Not all of these are easy to automate, of course, but that's an
implementation detail.

I like it. The process works for other maintainers, it should for us too.
Most of anything people do within Fedora's infrastructure is on Fedmsg, so I asked in
#fedora-apps and was pointed at datagrepper[2]. We can probably define a query that will
show a given user's fedorahosted repo commits, wiki edits, or other things of
relevance. Combine that with mailing list or irc activity and we can come up with a fairy
good picture I'm not even sure that this merits automation, tbh, but I won't
stand in anyone's way
