Sounds good.

And I obviously support culling our membership list for the exact reasons Victor listed (especially since I was planning to do this at some point anyway :) .

My only question is whether we care about leaving people on b.p.o who have gone dormant with triage privileges as well? It's much less important, but if they haven't contributed in a while they probably are not up to sped with triage practices and thus might do something wrong by accident.

I think disabling their access is a good idea from an infosec perspective. It's not like it's onerous to re-enable them if they express any renewed interest.

How about “missing in inaction”?

"Missing In Action"

Oh. After I sent my email, I checked the translation of "Missing In
Action". It means more or less "lost", but it seems to be commonly
associated to war:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_in_action
"a casualty classification assigned to combatants, military chaplains,
combat medics, and prisoners of war who are reported missing during
wartime or ceasefire"

I don't recall where I heard the expression, but I didn't mean that
inactive developers are dead :-) I'm quite sure that there is life
after Python. Right?
