Thank you for the confirmation and for considering these suggestions! Yes, these suggestions are specifically for the IdleAccounts documentation at https://savannah.nongnu.org/maintenance/IdleAccounts/. I'm glad to hear that you'll implement a way for users to check their account status directly. That will be very helpful for users to understand whether their accounts are considered 'idle' or 'active'. For the documentation improvements, I think the key areas that would benefit from clarification are: 1. Activity Definition: The current list mentions "post a new item in any tracker", "comment on any item", and "join any group", but users might wonder about other activities like: - Git repository activities (commits, pushes, patch submissions) - Project management (creating/updating project pages, documentation) - Community participation (mailing list discussions) 2. Examples: Concrete scenarios like "User A posted a bug report → account became active" would help users understand the process better. 3. Timeline: Whether the account status changes immediately after qualifying activity or if there's a processing delay. Thank you for maintaining Savannah and being responsive to community feedback!
