That said, one of the eventualities is that Infrastructure will remove all groups from the individual inactive account (I don't know the timeline on this, the last time I asked Mike, he didn't have a firm timeframe) The path of least resistance is to just wait on infrastructure and they'll take care of it. I'll note that other groups have a 'auto-expire' function that is even more rigid, and perhaps might be something we should look into. AIUI, one of those groups, Gnome, requires that every two years a contributor. must essentially 're-apply' and justify their continued membership in a given group. I want to say that Art does the same thing, but I may be accusing them of that because Mo told me that's what Gnome does. The other question that exists, is what does docs group membership mean. What benefits/responsibilities accrue to one holding such membership. If nothing, perhaps we should do away with the group altogether and just use the individual document FAS groups. -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
