I am highly confident that everyone is getting
older (with the possible exception being if
your name is Benjamin Button).

True enough, although I think if someone is
actually active, and building multiple packages
(even if they have gotten explicit commit rights
(either before or after getting PP powers)), that
we would probably need quite an extended time
frame (2+ years) to determine with some
confidence (to avoid undue annoyance emails)
that they no longer appear to need that group
membership.  It would certainly be interesting
to run a test to determine if any PP would fall
into that category (and not the larger one of no
builds at all) but I suspect that there would be
a large number.  btw, it would seem that a way
for a PP to avoid the annoyance emails under
your loophole closing would be to drop explicit
commit rights and use PP privs on some
package (the loophole bypass loophole defense?)
