That sounds indeed better than what we have now... If the committers play the
game... (I mean if they do care)

There may be some merit in this idea from the Cloudstack team.

All,
As I am sure many have observed, we have a large number of committers [1] who are no longer active. Currently, we no status that continues to
recognize someone’s committer merit while allowing them to declare inactive in the project. To address this gap, I am proposed amending our project
bylaws [2] as follows:
2.3.4 A committer is considered "emeritus" by sending their declaration to
priv...@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:priv...@cloudstack.apache.org>.
An emeritus committer may return to "active" status by sending their declaration to
priv...@cloudstack.apache.org<mailto:priv...@cloudstack.apache.org>.
No vote is required for a committer change from “emeritus" to “active" status.
2.3.5 "Active committters" are all non-emeritus committers.
These clauses were inspired by the Apache Cocoon [3] bylaws [4]. To be clear, a committer never loses their merit, and only a committer can decide
to go emeritus. Since merit is never lost, a emeritus committer may return to active status at anytime by simply informing the PMC of their
intention to be active again. No one can require that committer change to emeritus status.
On the website, we would place emeritus committers in a separate section — allowing users to more easily identify those that are actively
participating in the project.
Thoughts?
