Other PMCs I've been on, have dealt with this by contacting all PMC
members which have been inactive on-list and in svn for a substantial
time.
Anyone who is not responsive could be voted to be M.I.A., which means
they're no longer able to take part in the everyday's project
oversight.

But note that this does not improve the project's operability, it's
more like housekeeping.
