The question is still how you measure active reviewers/contributors? Is it 
enough to comment on bugs? Real reviews? Must there be at least one r+ in this 
time? Is an actual commit required?

What do we gain from reverting reviewer ship/ committer ship?

I can absolutely understand security concerns on unused accounts. But this is 
the case on active contributors as well. How many people did change their 
passwords after the first activation of SVN access? If we have security 
concerns, we should reset all passwords for all people with SVN accounts from 
time to time.
