So, I have a probably-controversial idea for a follow-up on this.

I'll add one more idea/loophole to consider closing.  I am a member of the packager group but no longer maintain any packages.  I am active enough in other ways to not be noticed by this policy.  I don't think that is right.

I have submitted a ticket to voluntarily give up my packager rights under this policy.  However, we should probably verify that a packager actually has at least one package or is a proven packager as a part of this policy.  I realize that it is very hard to know how long someone has not had any packages, so this could result in a request to validate to a person who is temporarily without a package during the period when the script is run, however I think this is a reasonable edge case to resolve manually.

regards,
