If you're going to do this, there should also be another way than
"voting" for people to reset their timer. I wouldn't want to see people
having to propose a null vote because they didn't care for any official
votes during the last two years and now find themselves in danger of
being kicked out because they consider actually working on Debian to be
of more importance than voting.
Just a mailbot should be enough there, I guess.
(not that I endorse the whole, but I thought this was important)
