Agreed. I think it's important to point this out and that we haven't
conflated those issues (at least not yet).

We in DSA have talked about this, not so much for group involvement, but
to minimize the amount privileges people have. Something like «mail
everybody who's a member of a team once a year, have them cross off the
groups they would still like to be a member of, GPG-sign and return».
Currently, we have things like I'm still a member of webwml, even though
I haven't done anything there for years, simply because nobody cleans
that list.
