Here is a(nother) status update on [1].
In the past few days I've been in touch with Christoph Berg as a DAM
representative, which has been implementing the inactivity proposal
starting from the sample scripts of [1]. Then, DAM also had a first run
of the inactivity test (i.e. 2 years without neither an upload nor a
vote).
Given that it was the first run, instead of directly removing the
resulting account, DAM preferred to have a WAT run [2] on the accounts
resulting from the inactivity test. The recent set of WAT-related
resignations descended from that.
I've been told that in the recent future the removal will become
automatic de facto replacing WAT runs. DAM will probably post more
details separately when that will happen.
Many thanks to DAM for their integration work!
Cheers.
