How often you call for Emeriti lists. Otherwise , if list is simply growing, then people may surprise like this. And also some people(Eli Collins) showed concerns about growing lists above right. But in reality all that people may not be active and not looking to project from long. Having them in active list will not help to Hadoop right. If they really want to active and help to project, they can regain at that time. Otherwise people may think to add new people, as list already big like above. no?
