hi all,
i want to inform you, that i have done a routine cleanup of our developers at sourceforge.
18 people, who have not committed anything within the last two (2) years, were contacted on the 2011-01-20 (that was also the deadline for the 2 years period), that they are scheduled for removal within one (1) week, if they do not oppose.
after that i got into contact with 3 people opposing to their removal, and 3 people aggreing to their removal.
today (after 3 weeks of waiting rather than 1 as promised), i have revoked developer status of the following inactive members: aschix, chr15m, chunlee, david_merrill, grholzi, j45ch, krzyszcz, mjmcgonagle, morellid, olafmatt, reakin, xovo
those who do check their fingers, might notice that 2 developers are missing. i consider them still pending: ggeiger, of puredata fame, who has not yet answered (and it's technically more complicated to remove an admin than an ordinary developer); and ix9 who had a bouncing email address (but who might be reachable via IRC)

PS: that's the original mail body i sent to all those devs:
<snip> Hi,
you are a registered developer at the "pure-data" sourceforge project, which means that you have write access to the repository hosted there.
our project currently has 43 registered developers, some (18) of them being inactive. as the administrator of the project, i would like to reduce the number of developers to the active ones.
since you haven't committed anything within the last two (2) years, you are considered to be "inactive", and therefore i would like to remove you from the list of developers.
if you ever feel like you need developer status (=write access to the repository) again, just send an email to the pd-dev mailinglist.
the list of inactive developers has been assembled in an half-automated way. so if you feel that this is totally unjustified, please tell me within the next week and i will not remove you from the list of active-developers
