Gentoo has the same [1]: "Any developer suspected to be inactive for a period in excess of 60 days may be subject to retirement. Developer Relations will first research and assess the situation, attempt to contact the developer, or if attempts are unsuccessful may chose to retire the developer. Please note that if you are in devaway for more than 60 days, you may also be considered inactive, however, return dates will be taken into consideration. If you are retired due to inactivity and wish to return, you need only contact Recruiters to begin the recruitment process again.
