I have concern about the DataFu process of removing committers due to inactivity, as outlined on this wiki page - https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DATAFU/Becoming+a+Committer
How often has this process been used? At many Apache projects, merit is considered to never expire. Circumstances can pull people away from projects for a period of time, I would hope that if somebody is able to return they are warmly welcomed back.
