It's best never to delete a user in Review Board. Marking them as inactive is fine, though. I know what other people have done is written custom auth backends to talk to a central database for users, so instead of creating/updating users in Review Board based on redmine's data, you'd just have Review Board use redmine for authentication in some way. I'm not familiar enough with redmine, but if it could use something like LDAP for authentication, that'd be even easier.
