I think now that committers are using a more consistent format in the
commit messages that includes email addresses, it should be easier to
script up that sort of thing. e.g. HAVING MAX(commit_timestamp) -
MIN(commit_timestamp) > INTERVAL 'N years' AND count(*) > M. Perhaps
it'd still need a manual review process, but something like that might
stop people falling through the cracks and being forgotten.
