In any case, I really don't see a problem with people who want to remain DDs doing so, regardless of what they actually do. The people who don't really want to, but also don't get round to resigning, are the problem. In that case, providing an address people can pin with signed mail as an alternative to package uploads will allow us to catch the (hopefully small) segment who neither upload nor vote. What I could see as reasonable, is restricting specifically upload rights of people who don't use them. This would tie in with the finer-grained membership I have on a couple of occasions proposed. I don't think that we should stop them being DDs, however, and I do think the bar should be low for getting them back. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
