My initial reaction to this is 'who cares?' I only see one person listed that fit your description.

I reckon if this was a strong enough itch for someone then it would be easy enough to adapt the Developer Activity Report from maven for our purposes. Of course, that would only give one perspective of all of the "contributions" we consider valueable. > How about adding a section called > "Occasionally Active Committers" or some such? -1, too subjective. I think we can do two things that'll fairly unambiguously clear things up. 1) Add to the "who" page that folks listed as "Active Committers" are those committers who have contributed (code, docs, community) in the last 12 months. They are automatically moved to the "Inactive Committers" list based on that criteria. They are, however, welcome to return to active duty at any time and should reannounce themselves by committing a change listing them as active. 2) Whoever cares about this should periodically review contributions and under the same lazy approval of every other code change [and based on the 12 month rule], should change/committ who.xml - the committer in question will correct you if you're wrong. --tim
