Joerg,
Whilst you might be able to vote without expressing an opinion,
we already have a documented MIA process.

I don't think using the single criteria such as DPL voting is a good,
approach.
By all means those who don't vote, might be candidates, but please
check the MIA tool to see if people are active before approaching them.
I'm sure a lot of developers who don't vote are shown to be very active when
measured against other metrics.
Remember voting is a benefit of membership not compulsory. Developers should
not be singled out because they choose the freedom not to vote.
