There already is a fedora_active_user script of sorts https://github.com/pypingou/fedora-active-user.
I would not be in favor of any respond or die automation. We volunteer our time and effort to be packagers
and the job is often thankless enough as it is. Having some additional automation orphan your packages
because you happen to be away for a bit is overkill. You want to attract packagers, not irritate them.

I'm thinking about a script which would run every month and:
- checks maintainer activities in git / bugzilla / mailing lists
(something like fedora-active-user already does) in the last six months
- if the user hasn't done any activity, send an email with a link
- if the user visit the link, do not bother them for the next 6 months
- if the user doesn't visit the link, send a second email after one
week and a third after another week
- after three emails without response, orphan their packages and inform
devel list
