If we want anything, we want these folks to be contributing
again, not to be ostracized. Being rude to them gains us
nothing and potentially loses us a very valuable contributor
permanently. They are _very_ welcome to actively contribute
again whenever they are ready and willing to do so. We'd love
for it to be contributing more often, but life often gets in
the way, and even if any of them have decided to move on and
never return, it's not like it hurts us to let them still have
commit access.
We want to encourage contributions, not ostracize people for
not contributing on a regular basis.

Well said :-)
